About Me


..Good morning, after 24 years on the planet I feel ready to offer these songs to you. No filters, samples or loops were involved. Kind regards and have a nice day :-)--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------The singer-songwriter and piano player Martin Klein has progressed from being an insider-tip to a small institution, since he has been playing a support show for the Swedish rock band Eskobar just with an old keyboard and his powerful voice. Endlessly inventive, no two plays of him ever seem quite the same. From broken rhythms to beautiful piano chords he has carved out a sophisticated niche of his very own. Martin Klein has a natural gift to tell a story through his music and his spectrum of vocal ability amazes. Check out this Vienna based talent!----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------"Sometimes you get the chance to hear a young player that you don't know but who is able to force your attention immediately to the beauty of music. Martin Klein managed to do this for me every time I heard him play with even the simplest material. Less is more is maybe a credo that would certainly imply to this great talent." Marc van Vugt, composer/guitarist. The Netherlands------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------(pho tos made by christian pinkernell, helmut lackner, gabi waldhart and my sister susanne) ---------------
