Beatzarre began experimenting with rock and punk in the late 1990s. According to his own account, he only came to hip-hop through his interest in crossover music between rock and hip-hop, such as Rage Against the Machine. Beatzarre first appeared in 2004 as the producer of a remix of the song "Geht's dir schon besser" by the pop duo Ich + Ich. Soon after, he produced songs for the rapper Prinz Pi and in the following years for various rappers (e.g., Sera Finale, G-Hot, MC Basstard), primarily from the Berlin scene. He has been working with the Akai MPC von Akai (eg. Akai MPC 2000), which is well-known on the scene, since his early days. Beatzarre became known to a wider audience in 2009 through his collaboration on the album Fler by the rapper of the same name. This was followed by productions for other well-known rappers such as Sido and Bushido as well as various national and international pop productions. Stein studied music, education, and communication sciences at the master's level, but does not hold a degree. For the university, Stein conducted a field study on the delivery of educational content. This research project is called "Rapucation", which visited Berlin primary schools and presented rap songs with an educational focus. "Rapucation" is part of the 2007 thesis of Robin Haefs at the SAE Institute. In 2014, he produced and wrote the winning song "The One" for Deutschland sucht den Superstar contestant Aneta Sablik together with Djorkaeff, B-Case and composer Oliver Pum ihren Siegersong The One. A week later, the track was number one in the German, Austrian and Swiss singles charts. Beatzarre became known primarily for producing music for rappers such as Capital Bra, Bushido, Sido, Fler, Cro and Samra as well as singers Mark Forster and Vanessa Mai. He frequently collaborates with the producer Djorkaeff. He also works as a photographer and has already taken official press photos for artists such as Capital Bra, Samra, Sido, Bushido, Clueso and Alligatoah.
