- Frontman of the German techno band Scooter.
- Collects old classic British cars. Owns several of them.
- "Created" the genre "Stadium techno" with the group Scooter. A music genre suitable for big open spaces, stadiums etc, with big crowds.
- Noted fan of England / UK and English language.
- Most successful single-record German act (with 'Scooter') ever. Over 20 top-ten hits as of 2008.
- Divorced his second wife Simone Mostert on the day Scooter performed it's biggest live open-air-act in their history so far, "The Stadium Techno Inferno" (June 24th, 2011).
- Lion's share of Scooter's discography consists of samples and, thus, gives credit to a wide range of music from very different genres, artists and times. E.g. the opening track from the album "Back To The Heavyweight Jam" (released in 1999) "Keyser Soze" samples the famous theme tune from Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" (1977).
