Soon he was producing his own pieces and has been co-owner of the record label Peppermint Jam since 1993 . It is located in the Peppermint Pavilion , which Mousse T. acquired after Expo 2000 .

The style of his productions is mainly club-oriented pop music with strong elements of jazz and soul , which is also reflected in the selection of his singing partners (including Emma Lanford and Andrew Roachford ).

Mousse T. had his breakthrough in 1998 with his hit single Horny , with which he was internationally successful. With the single Sex Bomb , which he wrote exclusively for Tom Jones in 1999 , Mousse T. also made his international breakthrough as a songwriter and music producer .

From 2003 to 2005, an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland was played at the Hanover Theater , for which Mousse T. and Sven Kaiser wrote the music. In 2007 Mousse T. wrote the score for the Bernd Eichinger production Pornorama (director: Marc Rothemund ). The soundtrack CD was released under the pseudonym The Moussekateers. In 2007 Peppermint Jam founded a digital radio program based on the label Peppermint fm with the private radio broadcaster radio ffn in Lower Saxony . The program could be received via satellite until July 1, 2010, since then it has only been received via the Radio ffn website.

On February 23, 2012, he took part in the memorial service for victims of right-wing extremism in the Konzerthaus on Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt and performed John Lennon's Imagine with the singer Sharon Phillips .
