Brisk Fingaz was born in Hildesheim in the fall of 1980 under the name Kai Aschemann. He found his way into the hip-hop subculture through graffiti.

He was later influenced by rappers such as Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill as well as producers Havoc, Pete Rock, Just Blaze and The Alchemist. At the age of 16, Aschemann met DJ CSP, who taught him the basic techniques of DJing, after which he purchased the digital audio workstation Samplitude Pro X for his own productions. He mainly works with samples, which he takes from the genre of progressive rock, for example. Using a keyboard, he plays instruments such as bass, strings and guitars onto the sample. He is also sometimes supported by studio musicians. In 2001, he collaborated with the rapper Spax for the first time under the pseudonym Brisk Fingaz.
