Markus "Purple Drums"

I was born and raised in the Italian Alps where I studied classical music at the Conservatorio Di Musica "Claudio Monteverdi" Bolzano, South Tyrol (Feldthurns, Italy).After graduation I moved to New York to pursue my dream of becoming a rock drummer.After performing and recording with numerous Pop, Rock and Funk ensembles I signed a recording contract with RCA (BMG) Records and recorded a CD with Carbondale (later renamed "Filomath"). I had the honor to work with some of the hottest talent in the business including John Fields, Jack Joseph Puig and Tom Lord Alge. I am currently on tour with Geffen Recording Artist Matt White who's Debut CD "Best Days" was released in October 2007. We toured the country last year with Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Lifehouse, Lisa Marie Presley, Third Eye Blind and many other talented artists. We are currently on our forth headlining tour as well as some opening dates with "Last Goodnight" and once again the talented Sheryl Crow.In April we shared the stage with "The Counting Crows" in Chicago for the PBS Series "Soundstage live" to be aired later this summer.
