• Name: Christian Kepstein
• Artist Name: Qurizz K!
• Born: 1997
• Origin: Görlitz, Saxony, Germany
• Band: Solo Artist & Beyond Memories
• Guitar: ESP Ltd 401 Black
• Inlay Stickers: Insane

Christian could never imagine a life without music. It was always the guitar-heavy songs that he liked a lot. When he heard Linkin Park for the first time, he immediately went to a guitar shop and bought one and learned the riffs of Brad Delson, which he liked so much. To this day, the instrument continues to grab him anew – day after day. Music has always been a balance for Christian to the otherwise monotonous everyday life. In 2014 he founded his first band, in which he took over the guitar part and wrote songs together with his boys. However, it turned out relatively quickly that he was musically drawn to a different style, so he left the band a year later and dedicated himself to his own solo projects – with the stage name Qurizz K! – in the rock genre. In 2018, together with a good friend, he founded the alternative rock band Beyond Memories, where he is still the lead guitarist and singer. In February 2020, the first EP came out. In September of the same year, the single “Better Off This Way” followed. In addition to the band and solo projects, Qurizz K! is passionate about covering songs from different genres and posts them on Instagram.

Mary N is a Portuguese singer, songwriter and guitarist. In her early years, Mary N was always too shy to perform in front of others. When she was 15, Mary finally realized she could use music to communicate with people who struggled in the same ways she did. That’s when she discovered her love of being on stage and connecting with fans through songwriting. Mary turns her songs into entire narratives using her deeply personal lyrics along with her impressive guitar skills. It’s a rarity to find an artist who can translate their emotions into music as well as Mary does, but it leads to a one-of-a-kind sound that’s hard to resist. In 2017, Mary released, as an independent artist, a Pop/Rock debut album called “Patience”. In June 2019, a new single called “Ready” was released, a song that represents a turning point for the artist and a reconciliation with music. For the first time, Mary was nominated and won the E! Music 2020 award by E! Entertainment Portugal. The same year, she started to get noticed around the World with millions of views on her videos. Mary is currently working on her second album to be release in 2021/2022.

Being stuck on metal at the age of 11 and collecting historical weapons and armor today probably says quite a bit about the character. Well, maybe not. In any case, rhythm guitarist Peet fits perfectly into the Corbian ensemble. With over 15 years of experience on the guitar, “The Bearded Guitarist” combines various metal influences in his playing style.
