Namosh or Namosh E. Arslan (born May 8, 1981 in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Baden-Württemberg) is a German singer, musician and performance-artist.

Life and work

He is of Kurdish descent and grew up together with his eight brothers and sisters in Mundelsheim. He lives in Berlin since 1999. Namosh describes his music as a form of "organic-electronic with Singsang, Liebesrap, Jazzgrunge, Hardcore-a-cappella“. He produces his music himself and is known for his eccentric and wild live performances, so in one year he played Europe-wide nearly hundred concerts.

He worked with a lot of known artists and musicians like Peter Thomas, Wolfgang Müller or Angie Reed, performed or produced music together with them. In the music magazine Q, Björk described Namosh's song "Cold Cream" as her favourite song of 2005. Namosh also played a role in the film Saturn Returns of Lior Shamriz.

Namosh released his new album Keep It for Later on November 6, 2009 in Germany.
