About Me


Hi, I’m Chris, I’m a musician from Germany - and I play with several artists (at least sometimes) - around the world - e.g. (i.a.o.):

Hotel Nineteen (Keyboards and Bass)

Pohlmann (Bass and Keyboards)

Marianne Rosenberg (Keyboards and Cello)

Schiller (Keyboards)

Juliane Werding (Keyboards, Cello, Percussion and Vocals)

and a couple of others ;-)

And this is how it all started: Living in a family, where both parents are professional musicians, I studied music (cello) at the conservatory in Detmold, Germany from the age of 12. Later I swapped the study to "Tonmeister", which basically is a mixture of a music and a sound engineer study.

In these years I started to play keyboards in my first professional coverband: "Slapjack". A long time ago ;-) Later, other coverbands followed - like "Spaceball" and "Maniac". In the nineties, I played a lot of Hammond in a Band called "Maria Perzil". We did ages of touring through the clubs with these huge cases - good old times. In the following years I worked with artists like Al Bano & Romina Power, Alternative Allstars, Stephan Eicher, Levi John, Kim Sanders, Midge Ure, Eberhard Schoener, Pina Kollars, Etta Scollo, David Bisbal...and the above...you know, it’s so much fun and such an honour to make a living from making music - as I hope that this is a long life and it’s a small planet, i hope to see you somewhere sometimes on a stage or wherever - take care!
