Hello and welcome to the Official Axel Ritt Street Team Australia site. First of all I'd like to thank Axel for his confidence in me and asking me to head up the team. I hope to make this the best damn band site I can and look forward to working with the Teams from America, Canada, France and Japan in future! First up, a little about Axel himself:
"Hi everybody, I'm Axel Ritt, guitarist, composer producer of the German band DOMAIN ( www.domainband.net ).Born March 13th, I grew up in Cologne, Germany. After getting the university-entrance diploma I moved to Dortmund, Germany starting to study music and architecture.
In 1986, I joined a band called KINGDOM, the ancestor of DOMAIN. Our record company held that there could be some name confusion with Lenny Wolf's band KINGDOM COME, so they decided that we have to change the name right at the very beginning of the band career.
The first KINGDOM album “Lost In The Cityâ€, (1987) which became an album-rarity in the meanwhile, has been re-released as DOMAIN “Our Kingdom†(1988). Furthermore we have the DOMAIN albums: “Before The Storm†(1989), “Crack In The Wall†(1991), “Collection 86-92†(1992), “One Million Lightyears From Home†(2000), “New Horizons†(2001), “The Artefact†(2002), “The Sixth Dimension†(2003), “Last Days Of Utopia†(2005), “The Essence Of Glory†(2005) and “Stardawn†(2006).
While only co-producing in the beginning, I decided to work as a producer as well in 1994. You can find my whole discography on this site.
If you like to get more information about me, for example my history as a musician / producer, my signature guitar or my activities concerning animal protection, please visit www.axelritt.com .
All the best Axel"
