Born in the 70ies, raised in the 80ies, but „awakened“ in the 90ies I found myself in a new world full of new experiences and possibilities. Movies like „Beatstreet“ and „Skateboardfieber“rocked my world. Using my mom’s Ironing board and my sister’s roller skates, I created my first very own skateboard. I designed my first graffiti with the very limited selection of spray cans, alwaysso fascinated by music.

My first records were Michael Jackson’s Thriller, AC/DC’s „Highwayto Hell“, Depeche Mode’s „Singles 81-85 and Quincy Jones Jazz Series released by the German record label Amiga.

Back then it happened that a good friend took me to one of his band rehearsals. Actually all I wanted was to play the guitar and sing, but I didn’t have a choice, because only the drums were available.

I was on fire, skateboard and spray can became second-rate and from then on my focus was on drums and they played the biggest part of my life. I joined and left a lot of bands in the nineties, always inspired by the variety of music . repetitive techno patterns, the engaging power of metal bands, looping hip hop beats and the beauty of jazz helped finding my path and own style.
