music is the healing force of the universe

About Me

infected by the idea of makin radioshows at the age of 6 already , i am now doin the "soulpatrol/soulsearching radioshows" in its 10th year. diggin, selecting , presenting the good music for you. besides djing and doing parties since ages (LAZY. & Cosmic Funk frankfurt) and also writing about music in magazines like Jazzthing and Groove, and producing, remixing under the name soulpatrol , together with Max Schneider, this is exactly what i wanted to do. receiving positive feedback from around the world keeps me going. jazz is the teacher , soul is the preacher. its all about music. and family.
