I was born in 1974 in Bingen, Germany. While I grew up living with my parents and my older sister, I was surrounded by different styles of music, from Motown to 80’s Pop and most things in between. I have been infected by those low frequencies for a while when I finally decided to get a bass guitar at the age of 16. Since then making music and playing bass is my passion.After I owned a bass for only one week I became a member of a just founded Top40 band. With this I played a huge amount of gigs in the following years.
Since then I have played with a lot of well known and unknown musicians in a number of bands, mostly Soul, R&B, Pop and Top40, but also Rock and Gospel. Additionally I played a lot of gigs as a sub and still love to do this.
I got my inspiration from a lot of great musicians I have played with. When it comes to bass players, I’m most influenced by Ralf Cetto and Arno Sälzer - I’m happy to call them friends - Kai Eckhardt, Frank Itt and by many, many great players out there.
Bands I'm currently playing with:
- True Collins (www.true-collins.com)
