His parents, of Kurdish descent, emigrated from Turkey (Midyat in Mardin Province) to Germany. [1] Tuncel grew up in Bad Pyrmont with his seven siblings. [1] In 2015 he moved to Frankfurt to do an apprenticeship as a banker, which he did not finish. [1]
At the age of 15, Fero began recording videos of himself rapping, which he uploaded first on Facebook and later on Instagram. [2] By 2018 he reached 150,000 followers on Instagram. [3] The 47 in his stage name refers to the vehicle registration plate of Mardin, where he originated. [1] He has said that he is following his father's footsteps and it is important to him that the people who listen to his music also know who he is and where he comes from. [4]
In December 2018, Fero announced the release of his debut single, which however was postponed by a few weeks because of a car accident he was involved in together with his manager. [1] The debut single, "Jaja" was released in January 2019 and reached number eight in the German singles chart. [5] The single samples Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" and was produced by SiNCH and Typhoon. [6] [7] After signing to Epic Records, he released his second single, "Puerto Rico", which has peaked at number seven in the German chart. [1] [5] In December 2019, Fero's debut album, 47 was released. [1]
Fero, who has expressed pride in his Kurdish origin, often uses Kurdish music elements in his songs; "I just try to make sure that not too much of it is built into the music, otherwise it won't have so much to do with German rap in the end". [4] The larynx has a special role in the voiced formation of sounds. laut.de described his voice as "distinctive", saying it is "somewhere between Bausa and Casper". [8]
