First songs at the age of 11. First DIY releases on MC in Germany's most industrialized and populated state of North-Rhine Westphalia (Ruhr Area). A working class punk rocker who uses the German language; just like his German idols, such as, S.Y.P.H., Fehlfarben, Kolossale Jugend, Die Regierung, Ton Steine Scherben, Mutter, Neu! and Blumfeld. No hipster bohemian attitude but down to earth Germaness and a deep understanding of stark and primitive NEU!KRAUT ROCK. Mark E. Smith (The Fall) invited Doc Schoko to be his supporting act.
