Biography

Born in Wickede, Dendemann was raised in Menden and later relocated to Hamburg in 1996. His first success was with the crew Arme Ritter, who often functioned as support for Fettes Brot and were featured on their album außen Top Hits, innen Geschmack. Arme Ritter had previously released a single called Disco '95 on Sony Music, but to little avail. In the mid-1990s, Dendemann and Thomas "Rabauke" Jensen, the tour DJ of Fettes Brot, founded the hip hop duo Eins Zwo. At the same time, Dendemann was working with the former Arme Ritter artist Majubiese and his friend Nico Suave, under the alias Mutter Natur.

In 2003, Eins Zwo disbanded and both Dendemann and Rabauke are pursuing their solo careers. In the same year, Dendemann release the EP DasSchweigenDilemma, for which he produced the beats himself.

His album Die Pfütze des Eisbergs was published on 1 September 2006, the instrumentals were produced by Jansen & Kowalski and the Audiotreats. The video to the single 3½ Minuten parodies music and video of D'Angelo's song "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" - Dendemann shaved his head and wore fake rubber muscles to imitate D'Angelo's looks and stature.

Dendemann toured Germany during 2007 and 2008 as supporting act for the Beatsteaks and Herbert Grönemeyer in big stadiums all through Germany. The live-album abersowasvonlive was released on 18 July 2008, featuring songs from Die Pfütze des Eisbergs as well as rare B-sides and a new track.

His current album Vom Vintage verweht was published on 9 April 2010 alongside the single Stumpf ist Trumpf 3.0. The album is more rock-oriented than the previous, and was produced by Moses Schneider, who also produces the Beatsteaks.

From January 2015 to December 2016, Dendemann worked as the musical director and band leader for the weekly satire comedy series Neo Magazin Royale hosted by Jan Böhmermann, [2] which airs on ZDF and was originally only aired on ZDFneo under the name Neo Magazin.
