life and career

Mad Cap grew up in Bielefeld. He has been involved with hip-hop since the mid-1990s and has also been present in the hip-hop scene since then. In 1995 Mad Cap started spraying graffiti and rapping. The HitBack group was founded in 1999 together with "DJ Rapit". Regular appearances followed as part of the hip-hop crew "OWL Rockt" (artist collective from East Westphalia-Lippe).

In addition to his activities as a rapper and producer, he was very active as a graffiti artist (until the mid-2000s) and organizer (until today). After his solo albums "Art 4 Real" (2001) and "Traumland" (2005) as well as other albums as part of the crew Independenzia (2007 and 2008) and Plan 88 (with Albino ) (2008) as well as other collaborations , the album is his latest Plant. In July 2017 he released the promo EP "Du bist".

In 2005 Mad Cap founded his own label "Art 4 Real", which continues to publish music to this day. The label sees itself as an artist network in which artists such as Albino, Callya , Comar, Independenzia, Soultecniqeus, Tokin One , etc. v. m. are at home.

In 2010 he won a radio competition with his crew Independenzia with the Bielefelder Philharmoniker (at Classic meets Pop). During his bachelor's degree at Bielefeld University with the subjects of art & music and social sciences, he organized events such as the HipHop Congress as an AStA cultural advisor. Since the reissue of the B-Boy massacre as part of the HipHop Congress (2008), Madcap has been co-organizer of this mostly annual breakdance battle in Bielefeld.
