PETER RIES
Peter Ries from Wiesbaden, Germany is one of Europe’s hottest producers and songwriters. Looking back on more than 25 years of experience in the music business, Peter started his career in the early ‘80s with successful songwriting projects for a variety of artists such as *N Sync, Beyonce Knowles, Love Inc. and many more.
It was in Canada that Peter had his first No. 1 hit in the dance charts, honored with the coveted Juno Award - a prize presented to him three times in the category «Best Dance Recording» (1998, 1999 and 2001). Hardly any other producer and songwriter in Germany can boast such a wide variety of styles in his work. Musically speaking, he keeps a fine balance between melody-driven Pop songs, R&B and HipHop mixes these styles cleverly with other musical influences like Jazz, Classical and Electronica.
REINHARD BESSER
After studying classical guitar in Frankfurt am Main, Reinhard Besser worked for numerous national and international artists as studio musician and songwriter before completely devoting himself to his own productions and compositions.
