about
Melvin Hein doesn't make music that knocks politely. He kicks the door in.
He's a queer singer, songwriter and producer from Berlin, working between pop, club culture and queer storytelling. The hooks are maximalist pop. The floor underneath is Berlin techno.
His debut album HÆIN (November 2025) was about Berlin nights between euphoria and collapse: community, hookups, longing, losing control, looking for somewhere to belong. He released it with a show at Kantine am Berghain.
Next is Bambi in the Headlights of Berlin Nightlife, out early 2027. The thesis is simple: a prey animal learns how to bite.
Live, the line between concert and club night disappears. With his band, electronic productions meet live drums, electric guitar and bass. In 2026 he played Pride main stages in Frankfurt, Leipzig, Hamburg, Nürnberg and Kaiserslautern.
