Hello and welcome to my little soundarea on the myspace planet!
This is my music-related story.... :-)...........
I started playing guitar at the age of 12. Always having a deep interest in Rock, Blues and Heavy Metal music I always wanted to follow my heart as a songwriter and experienced my first steps in local bands in Basel-Switzerland (where I was born). In 1999 I joined german band SYMPHORCE (by that time on contract with Noise Records). In February 2007 we have released our latest record called „Become Death“ through Metalblade Records. The last couple of years we spent touring, and playing some of the biggest Rock/Metal Festivals (including Wacken, Earthshaker Fest, Summer Breeze, Progpower USA). Let's see which steps we are gonna take in the future days.....Andy, Dennis, Markus, Steffen: I love you brothers! ;-)
From 2001 – 2005 I have been involved in a second band called FREEDOM CALL (label: SPV) where I recorded 2 studio albums and 1 live album. Also here we have been on extending tours all over europe.
A new chapter opened in early 2008 when I decided to form a new band called DOWNSPIRIT. It combines Blues and Metal, something I always wanted to do. We're still in progress to get everything really started, I'm really excited about this new babe in my life :-)
I have also been involved in a couple of sideprojects and guest-recordings (such as for french band "Manigance", german bangers "Dark Age" and brazilian Band "Sagitta", just to name a few), this is always fun!
I see myself as a songwriter (not only in Metal music) and live artist. I take every chance to follow the path I was dreaming on as a 12 year old. Playing guitar as much as possible, taking every chance to play concerts (I hope this break isn't gonna last forever godamnit!!!!) as much as possible is as important to me as to release good albums....
