Holger Scheidt

My name is Holger,I was born on the 13th of April in 1979, in the city of Wuerzburg, in Germany. I graduated from highschool in 1998 and have been traveling quite a great deal since then. Studying music I went to live from Munich ( Neue Jazzschool Munich ) over Montpellier ( Ecole Regional de Jazz de Montpellier ) to Barcelona, where I graduated from L'Aula de Musica del Conservatorio del Liceu in 2003. Then I spent a Year in Kreuzberg/Berlin, where I didn't really do anything (just like most people, who inhabit that city, and I kind of like that about it). I had auditioned for Berklee College of Music back in Barcelona and their scholarship put me in a position to cross the Atlantic Ocean, leave Europe for the first time and go to Boston MA, where I got myself a Bachelor of Music in 2006, studying with heavy cats like Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Matt Garrison.... I also had the chance to play with visiting artists like Kenny Werner, Dave Liebman, Steve Slegl, Billy Drews etc...After touring with the Jake Hertzog Project in march 2007 I spent a year in NYC, living in Bushwick Brooklyn in a basement apartment.Since May 2008 I am back in Germany, living in Munich buscando me la vida I am releasing my Solo Debut Album on Konnex Records in June 2008. You can listen to 2 of the recordings on this myspace account, the other stuff is other stuff.For further info and music check out my website:www.holgerscheidt.com
