About Me


Mit 6 Jahren lernte ich Mandoline von Grund auf und trat dem Mandolinenverein Alsfeld bei. Mit diesem Orchester gab ich zahlreiche Konzerte, hauptsächlich in Deutschland, aber auch benachbarten Ausland.
Mit 15 faßte ich den Entschluß, mich dem Bass zu widmen. Mit Hilfe meines damaligen Musiklehrers und einiger Freunde wurde der Bass zu meinem Hauptinstrument. Am Anfang spielte ich, um Erfahrung zu sammeln, in zahlreichen Gruppen diversester Stilistik, aber mit der Zeit reduzierte und fokussierte ich meine Aufmerksamkeit auf einige Wenige.
Im Laufe der Jahre lernte ich zahlreiche „Professionals“ im Musikbiz kennen (u.a. RALF ERKEL , DIETER BORNSCHLEGEL , BATTLELORE ), hatte diverse Castings (u.a. bei JOACHIM DEUTSCHLAND ) und spielte einige Tonträger mit diversen Formationen ein.

FOLLOWING PLEASE FIND THE UK-TRANSLATION OF A.M. TEXT
Starting in the age of 6 I was learning the mandolin from the bottom and joined the mandolin club Alsfeld. With this ensemble I played several shows mainly in Germany, but EC, too.
In the age of 15 I decided to learn the bass. I am self-educated and with the help of my music teacher as well as some friends this instrument became mine. In the beginning I joined several groups raising my ability and with the years my eyes focussed some pop-rock-cover-dance-show-acts.
Within the years I came in touch with lots of professionals (e.g. RALF ERKEL , DIETER BORNSCHLEGEL , BATTLELORE ), did some castings (e.g. JOACHIM DEUTSCHLAND ) and recorded some albums with several groups.
