*1986
A.k.a. Lenny Benaïcha
ScarLenn was born in 1986 in a corner of the province of Antwerp. At a young age he moved into the metropolis, which until today he calls home. As a twelve year old boy he was tempted for the first time by the rap rhythms but it took another four years before he truly realized Hip-Hop was about to become more than just his favourite music genre. In 2002 he found his way to the microphone, choosing an artist name for himself consisting of the English word for: 'scar' and his first name. The scar is situated on his right eye and defined a big part of the young man's life. The foster child, who found his real home with his foster parents, received a part Algerian blood and surname from his biological mother, from which he distances himself completely. Because of the name, the looks and everything else scarlenn stands for he was forced to get to know the less pretty sides of our society at a young age. The critical insight he developed as a result of that in combination with a unique vocal usage are typical for his style.
