‚Storm‘ started dancing as a little child, but seriously caught on to the dances Bboying, Popping and Locking at the age of 14. His first tours he did for ‘Bravo Breakdancesensation 84’. Soon after that, the big fashion ‚Breakdance‘ died out. Nevertheless, he didn’t stop studying styles, got connected with other Bboys and stayed creative and productive throughout the times when Breakin´ was considered obsolete.
By 1991 his group the Battle Squad was one of the leading bboygroups worldwide and thanks to them and others, the art of Bboying is so alive and strong these daysIn 1991 and 1992 him and his crew Battle Squad won the International Balle Of The Year. Because of the struggle in times when Bboying was out of fashion and the fact that he´s been dancing for so long, he decided to establish HipHop culture in the theatre-world. From 1992 on he danced with a New Yorker dance Company called Ghettoriginal. He performed shows in Washington’s Kennedy Center and in NYCs Lincolncenter. During the same period he was hosting the HipHop Magazine Freestyle on the German TV channel Viva. Briefly after quitting the job in early 1996, he decided to form a dance company in his hometown Berlin, which was called the Storm and Jazzy Project. With two choreographies they toured many different theatres around the world. The first performance was seen in February 1997 in the Maison de la Danse in Lyon. In times he wasn´t dancing, he wrote on the book From Swipe to Storm which came out in January 2000 and is telling the story of ‘Breaking’ in Germany. It was only published in German language. In 2000, Storm decided to create a Solo, named Solo for two. It’s been shown all over the world in more than 50 different countries and 160 cities. Nowadays Storm also choreographs and directs for different theatres and institutions all over the world. He also choreographed for the opening ceremonies of the Expo 2000 in Hannover and the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany. In 2004 he created The art of urban dance an informative didactic piece with 10 other dancers from Europe. This show has also been touring around the world with great support of the Goethe Institute in the Middle East and Asia. In 2004 he starred in the German HipHop movie Status yo and played a gas station attendant. In 2010 he starred in the dance movie Berlin dance Battle 3d and played himself.
