Biographical notes:

 

I give concerts and make exibitions since 2002. From an early age on artist had a strong impact on me, that included many genres of art. Accordingly my own expression turned out pretty versatile. I.e. I received an education as a sculptor. Nevertheless music and painting accompainied me throughout my life. In that respect I want to emphasise the influence of the Beatles, the Doors and Bob Dylan. 

 

As a songwriter I developed my own style on journey through Asia, Australia and mainly in the USA, where I lived around a gospel church and was inspired to write and perform songs. My songs are spiritual, though I avoid religious concepts. Some of them have been awarded with prizes (like the German Pop und Rock Prize or an Unisong Award. For serveral years I performed in clubs and on stages in Munich (Pasinger Fabrik, Blues Bar). The videos might give an impression.

 

Apart from that I developed my artistic style as a sculptor and painter. My last show was a John Lennon exhibition and I offer portrait paintings, that can be ordered on the internet.

 

For private reasons I moved to Quedlinburg and give concerts in the  area and I am available for private bookings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why you should book me for concerts:

 

I will put my focus on my own songs, though I like to play ethnical music or homages to other artists. The artist, to whom I feel especially connected, is John Lennon, whose spirit I try to keep alive by playing his songs.

 

It fascinates me about Lennon, that he was continuously progressing and transcending. Today he is mainly associated with the peace-and-love-movement. But his biography shows, he had a complex personality and a violent nature, that struggled to live  those ideals. Many of his songs are autobiographical and show where he was standing at each point of his life. His life was driven to refine himself, to become more authentic and serene. 

 

Lennon was a genius as a musician and as a poet. Though, I think, the greatest gift he left behind, is the dictum “love is the answer“ -  which  is usually associated with the hippy-movement, but which was made by poets and prophets since thousands of years.  This dictum is often interpreted as weakness. But is shows a deep wisdom. For it is the only possibility to open a new chapter and to avoid to live ones life out of the garbage of the past.

 

My songs and concerts are dedicated to this spirit.
