Always up for a new beginning.

About Me

PAST: Spring 1972: A young and stunning midwife was putting that special record on and I was born while listening to it. It was a sticky day in the beautiful, green mountains of the Eifel, where honey is running down from waterfalls and birds are singing an old song about the genesis of mankind.PRESENT: I am blessed to be living in one of the most exciting cities in the world and to be succesfully working in the music industry for more than 10 years. Do you wanna go on the mad trip from a demo to a golden record? I can take you there!FUTURE: Beside that, I am spending my time in West Africa at the Atlantic Ocean, where I am into real estate business with the ambition to become a building tycoon. My ideal way of life would be to stay in Europe during summer and in Africa during the wintertime, combining the best of both worlds.

Music:

Well, too many to mention all. There is so much good stuff in any genre - Electronic Music, Rock, Rap, Latin, Indie, Hip Life, Chanson, Soca, Zouk - whatever! Just to name a few: Radiohead is amazing, no doubt, and so are their videos. I love And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Jaques Brel is a saint. So is Leonard Cohen. Pretty difficult to top Aztec Mystic's Knights Of The Jaguar in terms of producing a tech-house tune. Magic Sytem's Premiere Gaou brings Africa into your heart - wherever you are. And if you wanna lose yourself a bit - how about an ACDC show? Very effective - trust me!
