Markus Wormstorm

He has scored numerous global campaigns for esteemed brands such as STAR WARS, Google, Coke, Amazon, and Audi, among others.

Signed to Sound Ink NY records at the young age of 19, Markus has collaborated and remixed tracks for a variety of artists, including MF Doom (as Viktor Vaughn), Burna Boy, and Waddy & Yolandi from Die Antwoord.

This resulted in a number of minor synchronisation licenses, which Wormstorm quickly spent on hand-making copies of his "album", which he would hand out at gigs and to friends.

When Jones disbanded Max Normal in early 2002, he and long-time DJ partner Sibot invited Wormstorm to collaborate on Waddy's The Constructus Corporation project, which resulted in the concept album / graphic novel The Ziggurat (ADOPECD009 African Dope Records 2002).

In December 2004, African Dope Records, in association with management label Sshadoworkss, released Wormstorm's self-titled debut South African album, bundled as part of the 3CD pack The Real Estate Agents Wormstorm is also a writer and music producer for the animation collective The Blackheart Gang, who creates short film stories.

The group shot their film The Tale of How (2006), which toured with Resfest in 2007 and has won several animation awards, including Chanel Plus – France.

Subsequent to an intensive networking effort on MySpace, Sweat.X signed a deal with the UK label, Citinite, in March 2007 and toured Europe in June/July 2007.

In 2023, Markus scored a STAR WARS film titled "Aau's Song," for which he would later win Best Achievement for Original Music in TV/Streaming at the 51st Annie Awards.

In the film, Wormstorm and Sweat.X co-collaborator Spoek tour South Africa's Karoo, making music and exploring the disconnect with the impoverished local community.
