October 2 ,1973 inNeuwied ), alias Ferris MC, is a Germanmusician , rapper andactor , known for his offensive language and antisocial attitude.Biography
Ferris spent his youth in
Neumünster ,Kiel , and thenBremen . A recurring theme of social exclusion is predominant in his music, due to hiscleft lip, poverty, psychological and drug-related problems, an alcoholic stepfather, and overchallenged mother. He was moved from gymnasium to a school for children with special needs, and then back.He graduated from
Hauptschule and served hisapprenticeship as anauto mechanic . At the same time, he was a radio DJ and actor (i.e.Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten ).Together with
Flowin Immo and DJ Pee, Ferris founded theFreaks Association Bremen (FAB), which, in the quickly-growing German hip hop scene, achieved success rather quickly. They performed at several events,festival s, and on MTV and VIVA.In 1994, FAB released their first album "Freaks", on the small indie label
MZEE . Three years later, they disbanded over a private, professional dispute. This occurred mostly because of Ferris' excessive drug use and Immo's advancing manic depression.After several
mental breakdown s and suicide attempts, Ferris moved toHamburg and joines theMongo Clikke . He moved in with Tobi Tobsen and findsDJ Stylewarz , who turned out to be a patient live DJ that was more fitting to Ferris' musical style. He released several records on Yo Mama.In 1999, he released the single "Reimemonster" with fellow rapper
Afrob , which was a success, and followed it with his first solo album "Asimetrie". Later the same year he parted ways with Stylewarz, and wound up deeper in the Hamburg drug scene.His second LP "Fertich" was released in 2001, but the single "Flash for Ferris MC" and the corresponding
music video don't fulfill the high commercial expectations. In 2003, Ferris released a musicalautobiography , adequately called "Audiobiographie" and his last regular album "Ferris MC".On March 17, 2006, his last single was released on the
greatest hits album "Düstere Legende"'. It concluded Ferris' career as a hip hop artist.As
Maniax , a house and electro project withMarc Deal , he plays in clubs in Germany,Austria , andSwitzerland .Discography
