I was born in 1974 in Euskirchen, West Germany. After finishing civil
service, I opted for an internship as communication designer, which did not
convince enough to start a professional career. Instead I started an academic
life in English Studies, Philosophy and Art History. Studying at first in
Aachen and later Köln, I moved to Berlin in 1998. In 2001 a few friends and
I began to take the university seriously and started the WiP-Colloquium, a
forum for students engaged in their MA-theses. Currently I am developing my
thesis on Rap Music, as well as preparing some smaller lectures on various
topics.
