About Me

"I was born, I was lost, I made music..."
Melancholy on electronic beats - 80's synthie-pop meets the tricky present. In spite of the plastic programmings and clubby attitude, eto regards himself as a classic songwriter. He creates high resolution songs about love, life, identity and insanity. All mixed up with a portion of electro, downbeat or minimal.
Eto grew up in a small German town called Kevelaer. It's a very strange catholic place of pilgrimage. The strict rules of his education did not fit into eto's liberal world view. At the age of nineteen he left home and moved to the nearest big city: Cologne. For the first time he was surrounded by freethinkers, creatives and sexually open minded people.
Writing, composing, programming and singing - eto does everything by himself. He is a night-owl and spends most of the time in his studio. Everything has to be perfect, but it never will. But that's it – imperfection makes the beauty...
Modern electro is all about coolness, image and lifestyle. But what about the introverted side of this innovative genre? There's more to this kind of music than being loud and fashionable. So, take off the sunglasses and be yourself...
