Coaster
Hello, my name is Coaster, and I’m from Rostock, Germany. I started writing at the age of 14, back in the year 2000. Two years earlier, when I was 12, I got into breakdancing at a local youth club. That was my first real contact with the Hip Hop movement and its four elements.
Breakdance was my life at the time, but graffiti started to fascinate me more and more. I began doing sketches and tags here and there.
In 2003, I met Sner from the CSR Crew at a festival. We already knew each other from the youth club, but we weren’t really close—at least not until that festival. We had a great time, and on the last day, he invited me to join his crew. I said… “Fuck yeah!” From that moment on, he became a mentor to me, and I started taking writing seriously. Before that, I had only done sketches on paper. I also met the other members of the crew, and we quickly became close friends. We spent every day together—drawing, smoking weed, bombing walls and trains.
Graffiti became a big part part of my life, and still is to this day.
