Jonas Herpichböhm

Hello, my name is Jonas Herpichböhm and I am a Percussionist. I was born 1988 in Augsburg, Germany. As the second child in a family of musicians, I started playing drums with six years - like my older brother. Since 1998 I was part of the drums and percussion ensemble Die Trommelkinder, with which I did my first shows in Germany, Italy and France. In 1999 I founded my first rockband as the frontsinger and bassplayer called Little Brother and we played our own songs up to 2003. Also in 1999 I joined the school big band St. Anna Jazz Babies as percussionist, where I became acquainted with jazz music. Since then I've played in many projects as a percussionist. My further musical career in short: 2001-2006 I got lessons on Borel de Sousa at the downtown music institute in Augsburg. 2006-2008 I studied at the Berufsfachschule für Musik Dinkelsbühl classical drums and percussion with Joachim Sponsel. Since 2008 I am studying at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst Mannheim latinpercussion with José J. Cortijo. Since 2008 I am a member of the Bundesjazzorchester...
