Judith Wessendorf (born 20 November 1992 in Berlin [1]), better known under the stage name Juju, is a German rapper.

Life and career

Born as the daughter of a German mother and Moroccan father, Juju grew up with her mother in a poor area in the Berlin district Neukölln. She attended the Ernst-Abbe high school in Neukölln, which she left after ninth grade. [2] [3] As a child, she listened to German gangsta rap ( Bushido, Aggro Berlin, Sido, etc.) and since she was 14, Juju started rapping as a hobby in her free time. [4] [5]

In 2010, she met Nura for the first time. [6] Later they formed the German rap crew SXTN. Their first song was Deine Mutter [7] and their most successful Von Party zu Party (which reached 30 million views on YouTube two years later) [8] and Bongzimmer. [9] In 2018, Nura and Juju separated and began their solo careers. Juju reached the top of the German single charts with the singles "Melodien" (with Capital Bra), "Vermissen" (with Henning May) and " Kein Wort" (with Loredana).
