Life and career

1988: Early life

Schindler was born to a German father and a Greek mother. He spent his childhood in the restaurant run by his Greek grandparents. He began rapping at age 14 and by 16 was noticed by Greek-German rapper Jaysus who invited him to contribute some tracks with him.

2012: Collaborations

In 2012, Shindy was signed to Kay One's label. He gained popular fame through Kay One's album Prince of Belvedair where Shindy was featured on some tracks. Shindy's big popularity came when featured on Kay One's chant in support of the German national football team titled "Finale wir kommen". After one more single together, he parted ways in unfriendly terms with Kay One allying himself with Bushido and Bushido's rap label ersguterjunge,[1] at the same time issuing a diss track against Kay One.
