DJ Hotsauce was born near Munich, Germany, where he spent the first 13 years of his live before moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he spent about 3 1/2 years before moving back to Germany. Malaysia was the place where Hotsauce got introduced to rap music and where he found his love and passion for it. After moving back to Germany in 1998 he started DJ'ing with a neighborhood friend and after a little while they started doing weekly partys at a local club.

People always ask me about my name Hotsauce. Where does it come from? Well as I studied Southern American Culture I discovered that Hotsauce was a main ingredient in Southern Food. So I became that recipe! At the same time, wich was around 1999/2000, I started getting into doing Mix-CD's with DJ Jelly & the Southern Style DJ's Crew beeing one of my biggest influences.

I was one of the very first persons in Germany to ever release a Mix-CD with all Southern Hip Hop Music. Because of that factor alot of german mix-cd stores did not want to carry my Mix-Cd's, so I created my own way of getting my CD's out to the people. I started to sell my CD's to Internet Stores located in the United States, thats how alot of people all over the world got to hear about me. Coming from a country like Germany where the Mix-CD market is still in its early stages, the Internet was my main tool to promote myself and build relationships with people in the music industry.

Through that way I also was able to get different Southern Artists to host my Mix-CD's. I worked with Artists like David Banner, Baby D, UNK, BHI, Lil Jon and more. From there I hooked up with a local booking agency and we actually started bringing Southern Artists and DJ's like DJ Jelly & DJ Montay, Rasheeda, Crime Mob and more to Germany. Doing this and with my Mix-CD's I was a big factor in introducing Southern Hip Hop to Germany. Around 2001 I had also got a chance to actually hook-up with one of my biggest mentors, DJ Jelly, and built a strong relationship with all the Southern Style DJ's and everybody at Big Oomp Records, wich I now am a official part of! My Mix-CD's have so far been recognized and reviewed in various Magazine and Websites around the world and I was the first DJ not coming from the States to ever be nominated at the Southern Ent. Awards in 2005 and 2006.

In 2006 I also achieved one of my biggest accomplishments so far in winning the "Best International Mixtape DJ" Award at the Justo Mixtape Awards!
