In 2003 Paul began his solo career with the songs “Christmas Song” and “Arschficksong”. His first solo album “Mask” followed – the title alludes to the chrome-plated skull mask that he wore at public appearances. Sido knew how to provoke, his lyrics, his behavior, he was provocative and quickly had numerous fans. The songs “Mein Block” and “Fuffies im Club” climbed the charts.
