In 1988, he began to play percussion for local bands, such as Dub Division, One Drop Posse, Dub Me Ruff, Natty Rebels and Di Irie’s as well select for Dub Me Ruff Sound System.
At that time, he was already collaborating with artists, such as Don Abi and Gentleman from Cologne as well as Iration Steppas and Alpha & Omega from UK.
Since the 90th, he supported the first North German Sound Systems, such as IRE HI-FI, Silly Walks, Crucial Vibes, Concrete Jungle et al. and assisted with many events like Dub Conference, Dub Club, Roots Clash as well as with the legendary Urban Sound Clash in 1992 where 13 sound systems and one live stage were competing for the favour of the audience.
The first Reggae studio Sound Navigator in Hamburg was also built up with his assistance.
