I was born in Austria, raised in Germany and finally grew up in London, so I think of myself as a European. Europeans are modest. Now, after living in the States for 8 years, I feel it is time to shed my European modesty...
So here are the facts:
I have toured in the US, Europe, the UK and Japan. I've played to 60.000 people and to 6. I have opened up for Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Michelle Branch and Van Halen. I have played on 30 albums and have been signed to Parlophone and Atlantic twice. I have played with varying artists from Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden's singer) to Anna Nalick. My band Vamp was the first German band to be signed to an American major label, my band Skin had the No. 1 rock album in the UK.
I have had the pleasure to work with producers Keith Olsen (Fleetwood Mac; Foreigner; Whitesnake), Grammy award winner John Shanks, and Tony Platt - the man who recorded "Back In Black" and "Highway To Hell".
I have been in bands since I was twelve. Writing and creating music has always been my focus and passion whether for myself, the bands I was with, or other artists.
I play drums, guitar, bass and I sing, so it was only natural to record my Solo EP "out of the box" in 2006. Last year, in 2007, I released my first German language CD "Heute Nacht" - to support it I toured Germany and Austria in the summer, which was a (successful) blast.
