Music was my first love... (John Miles)

About Me

Hi, nice that you decided to stop here!
I am working as a professional guitarist, songwriter and producer in germany. I was playing and recording with lots of several great bands, singers & songwriters over the last 15 years.
My last project was touring with the well-known medieval rockband SALTATIO MORTIS for whom I wrote -in cooperation with singer Alea and lyricist Lasterbalk- the album "Aus der Asche" which was released in august 2007 and hit the german Media Control Album-Charts at no.29 as well as the german Alternative-Charts at no.7 for several weeks.
Here is one live-impression from the "Aus der Asche"-Tour:
Between 1/08 - 4/08 I was writing and producing the new album for turkish singer/songwriter UFUK GACIPA which will be released in may 2008.
In June 2008 I will start writing my own new album... back to my guitar-roots! =:-) Stay tuned for news about that!
For further informations about myself and my current projects please visit my Homepage (only in german - sorry...) or send me a mail.
Yours, Mike
