My Bio:
I was born in Oldenburg, Germany in 1971 and in 4th grade my musical preferences were obviously broadened when a friend gave me a tape of the legendary band Kiss. From that point on my taste of Music became loud and rocking! At the age of fourteen i started with learning guitar.I have had a few lessons but the most things i..ve learned by covering song from my idols like Iron Maiden,Metallica,etc....
When i turned 18 i realized that the bass is the right instrument for me. Besides, bass players were always more in demand anyway!lol!
I played bass in several small Hard Rock and Metal Bands! In 2003 i joined the hard rock Coverband Ratpack(i still play with them),we play about 40-50 Shows the year.
End of 2005 i came in contact with the guy..s of MOB RULES who were looking out for a new Bassplayer which is able to take over the place of Thorsten Plorin. We..ve done a few Jam Session and rehearsals and in April 2006 i finally joined the MOB....
