.......at the age of 13 I started playing the drums. Three years later, 1981, I had my first professional studio jobs coming up. Several film musics were recorded, like “Die unendliche Geschichte” (“The Neverending Story”) and soon after I became Jocco Abendroths tour drummer.By that time it was clear, that I wouldn’t ever want to do something else. So from 1985 until 1989 I studied music at the Frankfurter Musikwerkstatt, where I benefited from being taught by drummers like Peter Giger, Dom Um Romao, Michael Küttner and Michael Demmerle.After finishing my studies I joined the Deutschrock-Band “Die Crackers” until 1994. For the following ten years I was drumming with the Frankfurt City Blues Band on the one hand and working with the Theater Ensemble Koblenz on the other hand in various musical productions.In 2005 I was focused on my own studio work and besides I have been working for Laith-Al Deen (“Bilder von Dir”). 2006 I have been tour drummer of Xavier Naidoo and I went touring through Italy with the jazz-rock-formation “Vibes”.After having released CD’s with Jocco Abendroth, Die Crackers, Frankfurt City Blues Band, Pat Appleton, Annette Marquard and others and having recorded projects like “Mr. Bond” and “Cocktail Lounge”, I launched my first solo CD “Hypenotics” in 2005.I am steadily working with miscellaneous artists, like there were recently Pat Appleton (“De Phazz”), Lydie Auvray, Rick Washington (“Eagles”), etc.
