File One

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

File One (bourgeois Mark Marquardt ; born June 20, 1978 in East Berlin ) is an artist ( rapper , songwriter and graffiti writer) from Berlin .

His musical texts reflect his life and are shaped by the impressions he has gained as a writer on the street. Most of them deal with everyday, but also socially critical issues, e.g. B. from his environment and their living conditions.

He has meanwhile transferred his art ( urban art ) from the street to the canvas. He creates his works in Cren's studio and exhibits them in galleries around the world. He is one of the co-founders of the “ Bassboxxx ” label and, together with Mach One, forms the duo Die Lätzten , which in 2000 produced the tape 100 min. (R) evolution published. With him he also produced his first solo album Overkill (2003), which appeared next to Bassboxxx on the "Teroa" label, which he founded at the time and later led together with Minor (Fight 4 Music) .

biography

In 1986, files with mother and stepfather fled from the GDR to the West. After a short stay in a reception center in Gießen , they ended up in the Eschenhof asylum seekers' home in Augsburg .

In 1989 they moved back to Berlin and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall . In 1991, Akten picked up his first spray can and discovered graffiti for himself. In 1993 he founded the “TLB” crew together with Soral . (Meaning either "The Line Bombers", "Teroa Live Berlin", "The Lost Boys" or others.)

In 1998 he teamed up with Mach One , whom he already knew from graffiti actions, in order to produce in his apartment with minimal technology under the band name Die Lätzten Deutschrap . After the first steps, they made contact with the rapper " Frauenarzt ", who in 1999 recorded the tape BC , which was limited to 50 copies . In the period that followed Mach's apartment, the Lätzte Loch , became the meeting place for the newly founded BassBoxxx label.

At the end of 2002, after Mach had spent five weeks in prison and his studio computer was confiscated, Fils had to worry about his first solo album, Overkill , because all the files were on this computer. After the computer was returned, his album was released in 2003.

In 2003 ,akte founded the underground label “Teroa Label” and published artists such as VERO, K-SER, TAYLER, D-MO aka Mo !, who also released 2 albums with the “TEROA TEAM” group, and the group Critical Disstanz KDT in Kreuzberg.

In 2009 he was the first German rapper to release FAT CAP RAP, a full graffiti rap album (in collaboration with ZV aka Olli).

In addition to art, Akt One continues to produce music together with Boga (since around 2015).
