Born February 15, 1969, of Black American, German and Apache decent, Da Germ or G.E.R.M. (Genetically Engineered Reborn Mastermind) is an MC from Frankfurt/Main, Germany, who rhymes in both English and German. Childhood: Germ grew up in Frankfurt, the son of a German mother and an American GI. He lost his father and brother in a car accident when he was a child. As an Afro-German, he experienced discrimination. His role models included Sugarhill Gang, MC Shan, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, LL Cool J, and the poet Robert Gernhardt , whom he knew personally from his time in Frankfurt. At 18, Germ performed on stage as a rapper for the first time but was booed, prompting him to spontaneously diss the audience. His career: After a stay in the USA in 1988, the Hessian, under the name Zyon (initially also Zion), worked with Sven Väth on his project "Mosaic." Later, his first hip-hop record was released under the name Al Rakhun on the label Dope On Plastic . In 1991, under the name Waldvogel , he contributed to the production of the first single by folk musician Florian Silbereisen . That same year, he returned to the USA, where he also acquired his stage name. During his training as a sound engineer, the young man from Germany was known simply as "Germ." Germ is also an acronym for Genetically Created Reincarnated Master Brain .
