The Mnky was born 1975 in the western part of Berlin. Due to his fathers job abroad he was raised mostly in the northern part of Algeria till he reached the age of 6. The Mnky seriously started collecting Vinyl in the year 1995 and soon became familiar with mixing. Influenced by radioshows and visits to certain clubs like E-Werk, Tresor and co. he improved his techniques. He met Tallah X and played at Youth Hostels, small Bars and made a lot of experiments with different ways of produding music. 2001 he made the pfefferbank his new home with a replacement – gig for Eric D. Clark. At this time he was more famous under the name „Lego“ and played at open air venues such as MELT!, and clubs throughout Germany.

Nobody really knows when he turned in to The Mnky – not even The Mnky himself but in the year 2009 he released his first track on kritik records which is called Painted Soul. Actually the Vocal was recorded in a Berlin basement club with some close friends. Kenneth Kerry Avera gave this track his deep soul voice and made it a smash hit.
At this time he already played a lot of gigs with DJ Term and they formed Term & The Mnky which where notorious for their helmets, their awesome sound. They where hosts of the famous Holla die Waldfee at the Morlox Club.

The Mnky is influenced by and plays all kind of electronic music in the range of House and Techno. It is difficult to put him into a special genre or sub genre - all you can definitely say is that he plays an impulsive and floating danceable sound.

Since the beginning of 2012 he concentrates on finishing his first Album and tries to evolve a new phase as producer and liveact.
