Felix Nier (born 2001 in Potsdam), known professionally as Filow, is a German influencer and musician.
Life
[edit]Felix Nier grew up in Potsdam.[2] In 2020, shortly after finishing his Abitur, he moved to Berlin.[citation needed] He uses various social media channels such as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and TikTok. He is under contract with 1UP Management.[3] In 2021, he took part in a Red Bull competition and became the official moderator of the Red Bull Twitch channel together with Ollimeee.[4] He mainly does comedy segments on his channels. During Gamescom, an incident occurred that cost him a number of followers after he claimed to have uninvited another web video producer from the guest list. He received further criticism for a blind date video in which he participated.[5][6][7] Since 2022 he has also been producing music.[8] In 2024 he performed with the Frankfurt duo Mehnersmoos at Splash!. He produced the song Lieber Gott (German for "dear god") with them. He has almost 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify (as of August 12, 2024).[9]
He became known with the song Rasenschach, which he produced during the 2024 European Football Championship in Germany. The song was produced in the span of 3 hours during a live stream. It is less of a football song and more of a parody of a football song. In the two and a half minutes, he raps in a highly exaggerated Berlin dialect, with dirty jokes and sexually connotated puns, left-wing extremist slogans (with a line translating to "We're killing all Nazis and their swastikas"), chauvinism and references to Balkonultra's party hit song Pyrotechnik, among others.[10] He himself describes the song as a play on stereotypes.[10] The song reached number 58 in the German charts. He also performed this song in a live stream of the ARD, a German public broadcaster.[11]
In September 2024, his album Icke was released, reaching number 28 in Germany in its week of release.[12]
He also created songs on his streams with other musicians like Ski Aggu and Ikkimel.[13]
