In 2001 he produced the "HPRC" album "Hot", which also was his first attempt in producing music.In 2006 he joined the russian-austrian band "Russkaja", a crazy mixture of different styles, a turbo-charged vodka rocket like, fronted by the charismatic singer Georgij Makazaria. "Russkaja" is playing a hell-of-a-lot live shows, have a look at the concert schedule, "Russkaja" is very likely playing a gig somewhere near you ;-)
Manfred is also playing with the highly talented, extravagant soul singer Rebecca Kolland, backed up by the "Funky Faces", a trio with Manfred on sax, Christian Linecker on drums and his brother, the keyboard and whatever virtuoso Hermann Linecker.
Manfred also works as playback producer for the austrian tv-show "kiddy contest" and is doing studio recording sessions for various artists.
