TeeJay grew up a in a time when Germany was still militarily occupied by Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States. It was an exciting era, because Great Britain came up with its military arm of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation): BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service). The present day you may know it as BBC Radio 1, 2 or 4. They played club music just as Radio 1 does today, and it was fascinating to listen to these special djs that made the programs.

At the same time TeeJay was studying radio technology, because his interest was, and still is, to get in touch with people musically, where ever they are, to impinge on mood, to be responsible for it.

In 1998 he started a broadcast station for a short while. This was the time he got to know many interesting people, djs, hosts, anchormen... and the decision was made: TeeJay wanted to be a radio DJ.
