About Me

I was born in 1970 and raised in Bad Vilbel, a small town close to Frankfurt am Main in Germany. My break as a country music journalist came in 1995 writing for Country Circle magazine in Germany.Since that time I have written for several national and international print magazines as well as for several internet magazines including Country Stars Online. And working together with two radio stations,I built my name and reputation step by step in America and Europe doing interviews with major country music stars like Hank Williams Jr., Gretchen Wilson, George Jones, Montgomery Gentry, The Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna and more.I have also interviewed many behind the scenes people like Ray Baker who produced Merle Haggard, George Strait and Moe Bandy. Rock 'N' Roll legend turned country songwriter Buzz Cason was also a notable interview. Current I'm writing for CountryHome, Germany's Premier Country Music Magazine. You can find my interviews published in German, English and French. My CD reviews and music news are written in German and English.
