Baxxter served as a member of the Germany jury for Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

Post 7 - X-Factor

Baxxter is currently a judge on the German version of X-Factor. In 2012, he performed "4 AM" along with his bandmates live on the show.

Post 6 - Bandmates

Since 1993, Baxxter has been accompanied by his friend Rick J Jordan who is the producer and one of the keyboardists. Other band mates, or "third men," are the following:


  • Ferris Bueller (1993-1998)
  • Axel Coon (1998-2002)
  • Jay Frog (2002-2006)
  • Michael Simon (2006-present)
The third men play keyboard as well and typically contribute to some aspect of production.

Post 5 - Marriage

In 2006,  Baxxter married his girlfriend Simone whom he met while filming the video for Maria (I Like It Loud.) They were divorced in 2011 on the day of Scooter's Stadium Techno inferno concert.

Post 4 - Celebrate The Nun

Before forming Scooter, HP Baxxter was part of a synthpop band called Celebrate The Nun founded in 1985. The band featured current Scooter member Rick J. Jordan as well as Baxxter's sister Britt Maxime. Perhaps their biggest hit was Will You Be There. The band disbanded in 1992 and a year later Scooter was founded by Baxxter, Jordan, and Baxxter's cousin Ferris Bueller.

As part of Scooter, H.P. Baxxter has collaborated with many famous artists throughout his career. Here is a list of artists with whom Scooter has worked:


Post 2 - New Album and Single

Scooter's latest album, Music For A Big Night Out, was released this year on Kontor Records. More interestingly, an electro house track was released under Baxxter's name called "Who The Fuck Is H.P. Baxxter?" However it is unclear how much Baxxter had to do with this release, as his vocals are not present on this release.
