beastboy

TJ_beastboy is one of the musical alter egos of Daniel Tjarks, better known as Taddl, a German internet personality and musician who first rose to fame as a YouTuber. Alongside his other persona, TJ_babybrain, and the project DAT ADAM, beastboy represents the confident, energetic, and humorous side of Taddl’s artistic output, created as an outlet for playful rap rather than the more emotionally weighted material found elsewhere in his catalogue.

The character was deliberately built around a cocky, self-assured persona that made it easier to write punchline-driven, wordplay-heavy verses without delving into personal or vulnerable subject matter, in contrast to the more introspective work Taddl produced under other names. Unlike TJ_babybrain, Taddl does not typically produce the beastboy material himself, relying instead on a rotating group of producers to shape the sound.

Released through his own label, space music records, the TJ_beastboy project has included collaborative work and has built a dedicated following within Germany’s alternative hip-hop and internet-culture scene, reflecting Taddl’s path from YouTube star to a genuinely multifaceted recording artist.
