Norway (1992 – present)

Madcon (short for Mad Conspiracy), made up of Tshawe Baqwa (Kapricon) and Yosef Wolde-Mariam (Critical) are a Norwegian hip hop/rap band who formed in 1992. Kapricorn was born in Germany from South-African parents, but grew up in Tveita in Eastern Oslo. Critical was born in Norway with parents from Ethiopia and Eritrea.

They have collaborated with a variety of artists in Norway, but did first receive real commercial recognition for their work with their partners from Paperboys. The track Barcelona from Paperboys feat. Madcon was a massive hit in Norway - Barcelona won the prize for most requested video of the year from Nordic channel ZTV, and was an important factor in Paperboys winning “Spellemannprisen”. (Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys).

Tshawe and Yosef are currently hosts of a tv-show called “The Voice of Madcon”. The show airs Monday to Thursday from 10 PM to 11 PM on the Norwegian music channel “The Voice”. The show features small-talk, music videos and interviews.

Trivia:
Tshawe won the 2007 edition of the norwegian version of Dancing With the Stars.
