Jan Plewka is a German singer-songwriter and musician best known as the charismatic frontman of the 1990s rock band Selig, whose anthemic tracks like "Ohne Dich" became staples of German alt-rock. After Selig’s initial run, he co-founded the art-rock project Mutter, blending theatrical flair with gritty lyricism. In recent years, Plewka has embraced solo work and nostalgic live performances, often paying homage to iconic German acts like Ton Steine Scherben and Rio Reiser—evident in releases like his *Wann wenn nicht jetzt* live albums. His setlists mix raw, politically charged covers (see his fiery take on "Macht kaputt was euch kaputt macht") with introspective original tracks like "Mehr als Tausend," showcasing his knack for balancing rebellion and vulnerability. Whether revisiting the ’80s or belting punk classics, Plewka remains a dynamic bridge between Germany’s musical past and present.
