First of all…

I was born in February 1981 and started playing music (guitar, bass-guitar) when I was 14. My first influences were bands such as metallica, Nirvana and guns ´n roses.

At the age of 16 or so I discovered the 70´s progressive rock bands such as Yes, Genesis, King Crimson and also modern progressive bands such as Dream Theater, Spastic Inc and so on. I was largely influenced by the Dave Mathews Band. I was really impressed and inspired by Mathew´s singing and Guitar playing.

In the last five years my musical bandwidth was extended to modern electical music (Jazz, modern composing) and I started listening to MAGMA, ZAPPA and some of the newer King Crimson music.

My favorite musicians and strongest influences are: Magma (Christian Vander and Jannick Top), Dave Mathews and bassists such as Chris Squire (yes), Geddy Lee (Rush), Tony Levin and good old Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

I played in several different Bands,the most well-known being Cheap Thrills, here in Germany. Lately I have been interested in spontaneus improvisation and computer-based composing as well as performing. I still haven´t found my definitive or final sound and try to experiment with all sorts of styles as in singing/songwriting, rock music and improvised electronic sound.

Starting the journey…a little history.

When I was about 14, my old friend Toby (Sum-1) showed me how to hold a guitar right. From him I learned basic chords and different ways of playing. My primary goal (to impress girls) failed, thats when I discovered that you don´t impress girls by playing Punk-Rock and Metall stuff.
