By day, Robert Freundl, known artistically as Nermo_1996, dedicates his life to helping others as a psychiatric professional. By night, he steps into a different world—one where music becomes his voice, his therapy, and his mission. His journey is anything but conventional, shaped by his upbringing in Geisenhausen, a town marked by its share of hardships.
Growing up in an environment where crime and substance abuse were common, Robert found solace in music. “Music was my escape, my way of expressing what couldn’t be said,” he shares. In 2018, he took his passion seriously, diving into songwriting and recording. But the road wasn’t easy. Financial struggles and the challenge of balancing his full-time career with music made progress slow. Still, he pushed forward.
What sets Nermo_1996 apart isn’t just his sound, but his perspective. As someone who works in psychiatry, he understands human emotions on a deep level. His songs aren’t just about rhythm and melody—they carry meaning, stories, and messages for those who feel unheard. “My job lets me see life’s struggles up close. It fuels my lyrics. I want people to know they’re not alone,” he says.
For Robert, music and mental health advocacy go hand in hand. While his dream is to gain more listeners and recognition, his ultimate goal is bigger than fame. “If even one person listens to my music and feels understood, that’s success to me.”
As Nermo_1996 continues to write, record, and grow his fanbase, his message remains clear: music is more than entertainment—it’s a connection, a lifeline, and a voice for those who need it most. Keep an eye on this rising artist, because his story is just getting started.
