I started playing bass in 1991. Soon afterwards I joined a band called "Bitches Brew" and recorded two albums: ( "Obviously Four Believers"1998, "The Rock And Roll Record"2001, both on "Freakstone Records" (http://www.freakstone.de) .
After disbanding some members reunited to form "The Close Up" , among them Nick Petzold and Christian Huber (both on MySpace). We recorded some songs that haven´t been officially released up to now.
After we disbanded again I joined a Joe Cocker cover band "Michael Sings For Papa Joe" (http://www.michaelsingsforpapajoe.de) .
Aside from that I spend my playing time with three jazz bands ("Kind Of Two" (http://www.kindoftwo.de) "Blue Note 5" (piano, sax, trombone, drums, bass) and a vox/git/dr/rhodes/bs band witout a name.. ), subbing "My New Zoo" (http://www.mynewzoo.com) , teaching and recording myself...
