Growing up in Neumünster, Kiel, and then Bremen, a recurring theme of social exclusion is predominant in his music. He graduated from Hauptschule and served his apprenticeship as an auto mechanic, working as a radio DJ and actor (i.e. Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten) at the same time.Founding the Freaks Association Bremen ([url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/F.A.B.+(2)]F.A.B.[/url]) in 1993, together with Flowin' Immo and DJ Pee, the group was well received in the emerging German hip-hop scene, making appearances at several events and festivals, and on MTV and VIVA. Releasing their debut album %22Freaks%22 on MZEE Records, the group disbanded three years later over a private, professional dispute.Ferris moved to Hamburg, working closely with Tobi Tobsen as the Bonzen Bro$, he joined the Mongo Clique, and meet DJ Stylewarz, who turned out to be a patient live DJ that was more fitting to Ferris MC's musical style.In 1999, he released the single %22Reimemonster%22 with fellow rapper Afrob, which was a success, and followed it up with his first solo album %22Asimetrie%22. Later the same year he parted ways with Stylewarz, and wound up deeper in the Hamburg drug scene.His second LP %22Fertich%22 was released in 2001, but the single %22Flash for Ferris MC%22 and the corresponding music video didn't quite fulfill the high commercial expectations.
