Markus Pitzer is born on February 18, 1970 in the hospital in Schladming (Styria). He grew up in the hotel of his parents on the high plateau of Ramsau am Dachstein, attended the elementary school in Pichl/Enns and then the secondary school in Schladming. After school, the education as hotel manager follows at the Hotelfachschule in Bad Ischl.

As a child, a small black radio that fascinated him was responsible for making him a musician. He was thrilled with the fact that voices and music could be heard from such a small thing. From then on it was his goal that his music should be heard in Radio's future.

The first musical instrument was an accordion. An instrument that did not inspire him very much. When he got his first keyboard in 1984 he starts to compose songs. While working as a waiter and barman in the years 1988 - 1996, he composed his own songs, saved money to buy more musical instruments, produced an album and sought ways to advance his music.
