Bibiza Channels Rock 'n' Roll Attitude on New Album 'RocknRollSt★r'
Austrian musician Bibiza, born Franz, discusses his new album 'RocknRollSt★r' and his creative philosophy in an interview in Berlin. The album's fifth single 'Soda Zitron' reflects his Viennese roots, where the drink is a cult classic. Bibiza describes his music-making process as fast and instinctive, discarding tracks that don't immediately feel right. He has known since age twelve that music would be his life, visualizing himself performing on stage. He views music as an immersive experience and criticizes the decline of music videos, which he pairs with lavishly produced clips for his songs. 'RocknRollSt★r' blends hip-hop, pop, and live energy, emphasizing attitude over genre. Bibiza is often compared to Austrian rock legend Falco, a comparison he acknowledges due to his hedonistic lifestyle. His discography forms a trilogy from 'Wiener Schickeria' through 'Bis einer weint' to 'RocknRollSt★r', mirroring life's highs and lows. After last summer's festival season, he realized he had truly become a musician, making this album his biggest milestone. Photography by Tereza Mundilova.
