Mawdee was born in 1986 in Tübingen, Germany.
Music was always a big part of his family life. His father plays the piano, his mother used to be a semi-proffesional concert singer and plays the violin, his sister plays the violin, his brother played the piano and used to produce hip hop beats. Mawdee himself learned to play several instruments: beginnig with the obligatory fipple flute, he learned to play the violoncello and later the tenor saxophone. Influenced by his older brother he discovered Hip Hop in the year 1995, when the german Hip Hop crew "Fettes Brot" released their posse-track "Nordisch by Nature". After listening to german Rap for some time, his brother introduced him to US rap acts like redman, camp lo, a tribe called quest, epmd and many more. At the age of 14 Mawdee got his first turntable (dj incompatible) and he started diggin records, which is his main hobby till today. One year later, after experimenting with his friends turntables, he bought his first dj turntable set.
One thing came to another, mawdee connected with Tübingens Hip Hop scene and after a short while he became the dj for the crew "Reimquadrat". They performed a few shows and concerts in youth centers and festivals... Mawdee left the band because of musical differences.
In the year 2003 Miykal Bricksul and Dj SePo brought a new weekly Hip Hop event, called Kellerfever , to Tübingen. The zero hour’s dj’s were the two founders plus Dj Madsen and Dj Mawdee. The success of the event grew and Mawdee got the chance to play in Tübingens finest club, the "depot", at the bahamadia/kev brown concert alongside the legendary "bag of goodies" dj-team. After this night being such a blast, mawdee continued to spin records in the depot, at first together with Madsen, later alone, together with MB (bag of goodies) and Don Rockshah , or as warm up/after party dj for acts like Dj Sepalot , Dj DSL or Main Concept ... Mawdee realised several projects in Tübingen like the monthly "One Day Heroes" street art exhibition with a true Hip Hop jam vibe (in cooperation with a few graff.writers from Tübingen/Stuttgart). He played in various clubs and bars and collaborated with Hip Hop dj’s like Mr. MoTapez, Dr. Phil, Dj Philow, and others.
Mawdee moved to Heidelberg, to start study at the university in 2006. He still djs at different spots, check the upcoming shows above.
