90 gold and platinum awards in German-speaking countries, three singles with diamond status together with Bonez MC ("Ohne mein Team," "Palmen aus Plastik," and "500PS"), eight number-1 albums. The second part of the collaboration trilogy "Palmen aus Plastik" was so successful that Austria adjusted its chart regulations—RAF Camora and Bonez temporarily occupied 13 spots in the top 15. Raphael Ragucci, RAF Camora's real name, is undoubtedly one of the most successful musicians and influential music managers in the German-speaking world.
In parallel with music, he has always worked on other things. He opened three of his own tattoo and barbershops in Vienna, Salzburg and Frankfurt, first wrote the book "Der Pakt," followed by the second book "Dark Zen" in June 2023. Almost simultaneously, the next album "XV" was released, unsurprisingly landing at number 1 on the charts. After a longer, regenerative break—due to a sudden hearing loss, he had to postpone his tour and the planned appearance at the OMR Festival—RAF returned in the summer of 2024 with a single and a major tour. And at the end of the year, his new cosmetics brand "R. /Cosmetics" also hit the market. An end is definitely not in sight.
90 gold and platinum awards in German-speaking countries, three singles with diamond status together with Bonez MC (“Ohne mein Team”, “Palmen aus Plastik” and “500PS”), eight number 1 albums. The second part of the collabo trilogy Palmen aus Plastik was so successful that Austria adjusted its chart regulations - RAF Camora and Bonez occupied 13 places in the top 15 at times. Raphael Ragucci, RAF Camora's real name, is without doubt one of the most successful musicians and most influential music managers in the German-speaking world.
In addition to music, he has always worked on other things. He opened three tattoo and barber stores of his own in Vienna, Salzburg and Frankfurt, first wrote the book “Der Pakt”, the second book “Dark Zen” followed in June 2023. The next album, “XV”, was released almost at the same time and unsurprisingly reached number 1 in the charts.

And at the end of the year, his new cosmetics brand “R. /Cosmetics” was also launched. In any case, the end is far from in sight.
RAF Camora talks about the career of an exceptional artist, his personal brand, high and low points and the balancing act between musician and entrepreneur in an interview with Philipp Westermeyer on the Conference Stage.
