Patrick Losensky, better known by his stage name, Fler, is a rapper from Berlin, Germany[3], also known as Frank White, 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 did not rap at all until turning 20[4], starting his rapping career later in life. 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 1980s]) and "Das hier ist schwarz, rot, gold - hart und stolz" (This is black, red, gold - hard and proud).
