About Me

My mother is German, my father is Afro-American and Native American. I was born in Germany, raised in American and German culture so I can say that I am both American and German rather than half/half...My Passion: I sing, love singing, love music, my lyrics and my life....I play piano, read and write music and own songs and have been involved in studiojobs, shows and supplying background-vocals for various projects since the age of 13. From age 16 to 19 I was the lead singer of a 13man band performing poltically critical songs. Presently i have a 7 man funk band called BOOTY JAM...for gig dates check out www.booty-jam.de... The Rest Of My Band "Booty-jam"...After achieving my associates degree I took 2 semesters at Evergreen State College in Olympia/Washington majoring in Media-arts where i was introduced to producing and engineering and produced my first track. I also have experience in video editing, as well as photography.My References : Lutricia Mc neil, Xavier Naidoo, Charles Shaw (original voice of Milli Vanilli), Brix, Bintia, Stieber Twins, Wutang Clan, Mc Light, Sir Mix-a-Lot ...Scholastics: I have my Bachelors of Arts in Humanities, The Arts: majored in German Philology (literature and linguistics) minored in English linguistics, Philosophie and Public RelationsMy Dream: ...that one day I will move the world with my voice and reach eternity with my vibe...and that I will live happily ever after with the love of my life...My Aims: "Cogito, ergo sum": I think, so I am (Rene Descartes) Communication, Knowledge, Insight and Wisdom... Masters of Arts....however far destiny will let me go...A sample of my poetry:"A tragedy will show you just how strong you are, Oh Lord, it seemed the good times were so very far But then you opened up my eyes and now I see: I refuse to let this storm hail down on me.There4s a time for everything, a time to laugh and cry, A time to tear and build, a time to live and die, A time to embrace and a time to refrain, If you dont give with all your heart, how are you to gain."TO ALL THAT ARE HURT: "THE WORST TRAGEDY CANNOT REACH ITS PEAK IN PAIN IF RATION IS APPLIED" -SCHILLERMy Wish: I wish for Peace, Inner Harmony, Happiness, Satisfaction and Health and Love...and that I can apply the helpful advices others ask of me...http://img230.exs.cx/img230/755/cimg18753wa.jpg"My Philosophical Message: "Act so that the maxim [determining motive of the will] may be capable of becoming a universal law for all rational beings.". (Immanuel Kants Categorical Imperative)My Theological Message: BELIEVE! HAVE FAITH! LOVE! You cant recieve, if you dont give.My Cognizance: The more I advance in my studies, the more I understand the slogan: "Scio me nihil scire: I know that I know nothing" (Sokrates) because the more you know, the more you notice how much more there is to know and the more complicated life gets......So I do know to appreciate the worth of innocent naivity as the opponent of the coldness and rigidity of science. A fair compensation of both sides, emotions and reasons, is what sets the Individual free... (Schiller) So I find my way to freedom through music...Closing Words: Theres a time for everything: a time to weep and a time to laugh.. a time to tear down and a time to build...a time for war and a time for peace... (ECCLESIASTES 3,2-9)And - I am not tryin to lecture - but for real: If you have the choice to do wrong or right, WHY NOT choose the RIGHT???

My Interests

I play piano, read and write music and own songs and have been involved in studiojobs, shows and supplying background-vocals for various projects since the age of 13. From age 16 to 19 I was the lead singer of a 13man band performing poltically critical songs. Presently i have a 7 man funk band called BOOTY JAM...for gig dates check out www.booty-jam.de...I am an artistI get my inspiration from life itself, the so- called ups and downs...and how I deal...When I am down...I write. Others deal with problems by sharing it with someone, I share it with myself...AND others by bringing them joy with my misery and luck...which then again makes me happy to see how I delight ..and I then realise..its not really that bad!But not only when Im sad do I write. Also when I burst of joy and Im too happy to keep it inside... Then I want to share my joy and show how happy I am that Im alive and healthy!Writing songs -bringing them to paper- recording and then finally listening to them---In this path I have recognised a therapeutic and healing sensation...my songs have an uplifting effect on me and make me feel better...

I'd like to meet:

Producers, Labelowners...Someone who can help me fulfill my dream.... My Dream: I want to move the world with my voice, reach eternity with my message...believe, have faith and love...and reach eternity with my vibe....
