About Me


..
I was born 1980 in Dresden, grow up there and I am still in love with this town.
I started to learn piano when I was 5 years old and for me that was the most enoying thing for the next ten years. Finally, with 15 years, my dad allowed me to play guitar and I am happy since then.
My first band was called LAST GENERATION (1995 - 2001). It was an exiting time, we were young, restless and looked fucking good with long hairs and nice guitars on stage. It was my passion project. In 2000 the band won the f6 music award for our state (saxony) and became 3rd at the final in Berlin. That was the biggest success for LAST GENERATION. The band split up in 2001.
1998 I got a call for a job as a guitarist in a new formed punk rock..n..roll band named FREE LITTLE PIGS. For 8 years we played hundreds of shows in Germany, Poland and Czech Republic and released 6 records with the "Pigs". In January 2007 the band gave the "Good-bye concert" but maybe the guys will come together in a couple of years again.
In 2005 I got a call that changed my life for the next years. A DJ and producer from a local DJ-Team offered me a job as a guitar player, Songwriter, Singer and co-producer. I said: "YES man! " The project is called THE ADMIRALS.
"Pumping grooves, kindling riffs, fat sounds together with biting harmonizing vocal passages… this is what “The Admirals” stands for! With their distinctive mix of live act and DJ set, the team rocks in a striking outfit and firing flashlight fountains through the republic’s clubs - pure entertainment in house & electro" (the-admirals.com)
2006 we published our 1st Single "Maenner (scheisse sexy)" with Seraphina as the female voice. The song was in the “German Single TOP100” charts for over 10 weeks. Our next release will be an EP containing four songs. Coming out soon...
