About Me


Hi, i was born in summer 1977 in the east of Berlin (thank you
mom), my first live concert i ever saw was Joe Cocker in Berlin
(one or two years before the berlin wall broke down)
i was in the age of 11 i think. I wont forget that
day (thank you Mr. Cocker),
so then i started playin.. drums when i was in the
age of 12 or 13.
After public school i went to a music school in denmark
for year. We were touring with our school big band
through belgium, italy, france, greece,
sweden and danmark of course.
After my time, my great time in denmark i came back
to germany and played in a couple of unknown rock
and pop bands.
The last real band i played with was MICA
(MICAMOON nowadays), we recorded songs released a CD.
After my time with MICA i played with the german
pop singer JAZZY, she is also known as member of
the girlgroup TIC TAC TOE.
Mostly we did tv shows, after that time i played with german
singer GRACIA. We did only tv shows, for example
the EUROVISION SONGCONTEST also known as GRAND PRIX.

Since 2001 i..m also working with IN EXTREMO,
i..m working as drumtech and production assistent and
put some stuff together for the guys.
We are touring around the globe and got a lot of fun together.
I..m also working as drum technican for other bands and
companys, for example
Manu Chao, Kool & The Gang, Exilia, The Scorpions, Mark Medlock, Monokel, Ben Becker,
The Rubettes, Black Box Music, Captured Live, ARD, Meistersinger
and other...
The most important inspiration is canadians prog band SAGA...
SAGA were the reason why i started playing drums and by the way,
SAGA had their first show exactly on my birthday and my birthyear...
I left micamoon, i dont got enough time to work with them,
i..m sure that there will be a great drummer soon to do a great job.
