JUSTUS NAETHLER //
BERLIN
I was born and raised in Berlin in the late 1980s. I learned to love the city, living in it and living with it. Berlin is rough, vibrant and inspiring.
​
ART + DIRECTION
I understand art as a unique concept of communication. In respect of my studies I work in art direction, production and conception for befriended artists such as Pyrame, Great White Shark, Gabriel Pulecio, Berlin Tanzt, my own projects such as Ghettysburg, JXTS and others. With attention to all details, these visions were realized with the help of an unbeatable team of actors, camera women and men, dancers in Johannesburg, Paris, Cape Town, Berlin and Los Angeles.
Regarding my own project JXTS I understand that music does not just mean music, it also provides be a complete experience - that's why I decided to shoot my first short film THE FINE LIE as a director. The essence of creating film is knowing what you're doing. You gotta know everything about all the departments. That's why working as an actor, editor and a directing camera operator helped me a lot to pursue my path as director.
ACTING
My main occupation is working as an actor and voice actor for various film and commercial productions. I'm loving it, it drives my energy and my flow. I'm doing this already since a couple of years. It's a lot of fun to me getting into different mindsets, personalities and environments. Additionally I participated as a host for Red Bull International and Joice TV, even lending my voice to RBB Radio Fritz, Krombacher, Total and others.
MUSIC
After graduating from high school I prepared for jazz bass studies. Then I decided for a different creative path studying GWK at the University of the Arts in Berlin where I graduated.I participated in several studio recordings before I initiated the Ghettysburg project with increasing conviction as a front man. However, this was only the beginning of my artistic emancipation. 1.5 years ago I started my solo project: JXTS as the songwriter, video producer and art director. It was very important to me to reach out to the producer SIMONNE JONES (Rea Garvey, Ryan Shendan, Peaches) for my work. Additionally I'm writing sync music with Matthieu Brismontier MOWD for various commercial productions which have been successfully placed.
So that's it pretty much about me. I'm really looking forward to hearing back from you.
