Biography
At the beginning of his musical career, formed Sendilmen together with friends the group AK. When rapper Sido discovered him, the members of AK signed their first label contract.
It came to disputes between Sendilmen and the other members of AK, thus the group disbanded. Sendilmen signed to Sektenmuzik, where he worked together with other artists on Sampler 1. He joined rap group Die Sekte and had mainly contacts with Aggro Berlin and Bass Sultan Hengzt.
He became a good friend of Sido and repeatedly thanks him in songs and interviews for supporting him and taking him away from his criminal street life.
On the Aggro Berlin sampler Aggro Ansage Nr. 5, was he featured with a solo track titled "Alpa für Westberlin".
On May 1, 2007 presented Sendilmen on MTV Germany his first video "Ausländer", reaching place 5 of the Most Wanted charts in the Total Request Live series. The single of this song was released May 25 over Sektenmuzik. On the same day released his debut album Geladen und Entsichert.
