TMK Tüdelband Musik Kontor - the service provider for the self-service songwriter

About Me


I `m the owner of TMK Tüdelband Musik Kontor with a homebase in the North of Germany, right between Hamburg and Bremen, but 2007 will be the year of our moving to Hamburg/Germany.

Our business is artist/event/press/tour/"mailbox" management, artist coaching, promotion, fanbasing (street teams), webhosting, merchandising, organisation of interview days and release parties, translations (German/Dutch/South Africans/English ... more to come) etc. pp. There are media, booking us for "talent scouting" (venues, hosts of singer/songwriter shows, radio/tv ...). As free music journalists we also write CD and gig reviews, info articles and do interviews to tell the world about the artists/bands we work with. Otherwise they can use us as their German HQ, as contact and post office ... whatever needed.

Most important thing to do for foreign bands/artists that want to score gigs or sell CDs in Germany is to have a very cool German bio and a German PR-text to sent out their requests. Too many German venue or press people doesn`t dare to speak as much English as they would need to get back to the artist/band for questions, invitations, details, whatever. They also don`t like to call artists/bands in other countries for (too) high phonecall costs. So these requests mostly will land in the corner of things to do in year 2099 ... that`s waste of time, talent and money. TMK Tüdelband Musik Kontor could be your partner to kick away the stones in your way to success and a big blast on stage. We`re the provider for the self-service songwriter, you only have to book what you really need and not a whole PR package. Your job is to compose and perform music, we keep your background and future working as a steam train.

We work with partners and networkers in every genre, worldwide: press, tv, radio, label, venues, bookers, PR agents ...

And then there`s this sIngwriting. If you should suffer a writer`s block, dare to ask us to help out. Give us the story (or even not) and we will write the story around, fitting to the music you compose/d.

If you want to find out more, sent us a message.


My Interests

MUSIC, LOVE & LIFE as old books, travelling, languages (every 2 years a new one, please), (s-i-ng)writing, meeting people, cooking, smiling & laughing, conversation, communication, my job(s) and the things behind the things ... and ... between all this MORE MUSIC!

I'd like to meet:

I`m looking for networkers from all over the world, people that are passionated like me: musicians, artists, (song)writers, s-i-ngwriters, writers, bookers, managers, promoters, agents, A & Rs, snoopiers, travellers, discoverers, neoterists, inventors, creativs, players, lovers, ... YOU!

Music:

My heart beats for singer/songwriter-stuff: acoustic, pure, real. Preferred blues, jazz, soul, rock, sometimes funk with the right groove ...

Every song is a great song which is floating like a warm river through my vains and reaches the right room in my heart to have a big party there.

There aren`t favo-bands in my musical life. I love stuff that fits in the second I live in.

Because of my job I`m one of the lucky ones that can listen to different and new music and songwriters every day!! It`s one of the great sites of this kind of work (and there are many). But this also gives me so much new stuff so that I haven`t got the time I would love to have to listen to my "own" stuff, the CDs, the records I bought since I was 8 or 9.
One of my personally receipts is to use music to learn different languages. Nothing better available :-)

Movies:

All Monty Python`s stuff!!


Television:

None, I don´t watch tv. I prefer real love and life, a good book or a good friend with a good talk, a good sip and a good snack, open fire and a blanket to relax ... My idea: Watching tv routinely is a sort unnoticed brainwash and not good to let things simmer or let yourself grow. It`s just waste of lifetime. Any questions?
