One first word regarding friend requests:
I do appreciate your requests but please understand that there at least should be a slight reason for a contact.

I do not just collect contacts for no reason and consider it a courtesy to drop a few words if you wish to be added in my contactlist. Thank you.

So now,
before I start telling something about me - after some time here on myspace I've seen so many good musicians, good songs - I'd say enough for the whole world and still too many good musicians who are not listened to as they would deserve when you consider their creativity, skills, voices a.s.o. I'm really stunned and hope for everybody that he or she'll come a bit closer to their dreams and have people hear their music.

What you can hear on myspace is MY music. The song SLOW DANCE is based on a poem by Mr. David Weatherford - words which are very deep and touching. This poem went around the world as a hoax spam mail, so I took it since it touched me. with the kind permission of the poet, Mr. David Weatherford. Please take a look at his website for much more wonderful lyrics: www.davidlweatherford.com

Ok, 'bout me in a few words: -
I was raised with music, started with piano lessons on my mum's piano at the age of 6 which I stopped at the age of 9 since it didn't impress the girls enough. So at 10 or so I started with the guitar and ever since played this instrument. My love for it increases with the age and the changing playing style.
I played in many bands but decided not to live and depend on music after I had earned money with a coverband in American clubs during my time at the university. So I went into business, did quite well and never stopped playing guitar and composing my own music.
Its always after some time when one asks oneself the question of meaning - My answer to it was that I'll focus more on music again and share my tunes with people who like it. I produce my songs in my small studio or in a friend's studio and sometimes play gigs. Target ist to increase the number of gigs and airplays of my songs and gather a small group of people who like my music. I started with music - I'll end with it :-)

So you can hear some results of what I do here on myspace. If you like it I'm happy - if you don't - just forget it :-)

I'd be glad if you left a comment if you particularly dislike or like some of my work :-). More songs will follow.
