Fil grew up in the Märkisches Viertel, like Sido, but opted for a career outside of hip hop. He began drawing comics for the Berlin city newspaper "Zitty" at the age of 15 and over the years gained an honest, earthy reputation among his fellow citizens. At 25, he also began performing with a guitar and - for a while, but not for a long time now - with a fantastic stuffed shark. Now Fil is over 50, he looks younger (but still not really good. He looks like a very unattractive 45-year-old) and - oh, right, has already written 2 novels. Not only written, but also had them printed by a bourgeois publisher.
