About Me

Hello and welcome to my myspace site!
I've started to playing drums & percussion at the age of nine.

In the last twenty years I've played with several well known guys like my good friend and Grammy Award winning Guitarplayer Nick Kane (Mavericks, Bruce Springsteen and others), Freddie Santiago (played percussion for Gloria Estefan and many more), Martin Verdonk (played percussion for Prince & Carlos Santana), Turbo B. (SNAP) and a lot of other known and unknown artists and musicians in different countries.

More informations about me you can see on my german drumsite (english version coming soon!):

www.andy-k.de

In the daily business I'm also working as a professional and succesfull audio-producer and music-supervisor for different major-companies in the advertising-, movie- and television-biz (my references are "Americas Sweethearts" (GSA), "Animal" (GSA), "Lammbock", "Wunder von Bern", "Swimmingpool", "Mondscheintarif" and many more).
I've worked also in a production as a film-coproducer with the light-artist Gert Hof , who designed a lot of spectacular shows for artists like Roger Waters (Maltas "Welcome Europe-Event"), Rammstein, Anouk (first class rock-artist from the Netherlands) in the past.
Our first co-production, the DVD " AIDAdiva - A ship of light , the first DVD-release on my own little label "Monogenuss Records" , is in store now and also available on www.amazon.de .
During the last ten years I've also worked with some well known german movie directors like Sönke Wortmann, Peter Timm and Ralf Hüttner in music supervision.
As a audio- and musicproducer I've worked with a lot of cool guys too. Artists like "BAP" (TV-Crime-Series "SK Koelsch"), "Reamonn" (Movie "Mondscheintarif"), "QUEST", "Moritz Bleibtreu" and "Rolf Zacher" used my competence for their productions.
Details about my "bread & butter"-work and my own little companies you may find on my business-site:

I'm actually based in Wiesbaden, Cologne and Berlin, Germany.

Enjoy my work and music!

Best,

Andy K.
