An audience always expects from a music show an extraordinary mixture of several kinds of uniqueness. MAUF provides that in fascination, joy and music.
MAUF captivates mostly through their live music using solely three microphones. Each of these microphones are used differently. The three elements are singing, beatboxing and creating sounds. This leads to an direct, authentic, lively mix of pop music, Techno, RnB, HipHop and World Music – not to forget fun and delight. MAUF have their qualities and have been recognizied all over the world.

fii - verena - christal
The protagonists of MAUF are verena, christal and fii. Their interplay of individual characters provides further attractions in vision, music, style and movement. The vocals of MAUF are covered by verena. Her destiny is music. Since her very first tones she has been wishing to become a singer. Her voice and smile is bewitching everyone in the audience. The Human Beatbox is christal. He lives the rhythms in his creative mind. His sounds and natural groove add dance and movement to every moment in the songs. The art of voice is delivered by fii. His history in classical music, Metal, Crossover, Industrial, HipHop, Reggae, Jazz, Rock, RnB and Blues can be witnessed in his vocal diversity.
