NotQuitePoet... this name says it all! "Original, special, highly talented," that's the motto! Since 2008, the dynamic artist has been performing at poetry slams and readings. In his role as the rapping chess player "MC Mate," he has become well-known to a wider audience. He also passionately shares his opinions with his "homies," much like a desperate streetworker—when he's not singing praises of the "most erotic city in Germany," which is Ludwigshafen! However, the more reflective tones are also present in the incredibly versatile work of this scientist and journalist: whether it's a description of our beautiful, new, and wicked world, a call for a rebellion 2.0, the loud clash of the sexes on stage, or the eternal longing for love. He has secured around 50 podium finishes at poetry slams from Berlin to Germersheim.
