Life

Fler was born on 3 April 1982 as Patrick Decker. He grew up without knowing his father, and has stated that he had problems in school, not because of his marks, but because of his behaviour. He has been accused of nationalist views, because of his lyrics in songs like "Neue Deutsche Welle" (New German Wave [allusion to the so called "Neue Deutsche Welle" in the 1980's]) and "Das hier ist schwarz, rot, gold - hart und stolz" (This is black, red, gold - hard and proud), which some claim have racist themes, although Fler has denied being racist and he tried to disprove these accusations with his latest single, Cüs Junge, a song about a beautiful Turkish-German Woman.
