What you need to know about me …
I am a versatile musician, guitarist, producer and composer. My love for music began at the age of 12 when I first started taking classical guitar lessons . I did my first show with my own band when I was 14 years old. I then played in a lot of different bands until I decided to form my own first professionall band called Sheela. We then released the first album called “Burned down”, that was a big success in Japan (Burrn Magazine: 86 Points). Sheela released 4 more albums and toured all over Europe and also USA, supporting acts like : Scorpions, Saga, Fates Warning, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Poison, Johnny Lang, Nazareth and many others. After that I joinded RED CIRCUIT, a melodic metal band. We played nice shows in the USA and Asia.
Since 2016 I play with a big classical orchestra a show called „Night of music“ (www.wiesbaden-nightofmusic.de) and wrote a lot of film music.
Beside this events I also played in more than 500 Shows with my acoustic band ”3 Monkeys and a Dog”, and I established my “Modern Guitar School”, where I am teaching Guitar- and Bassplaying // www.modern-guitar-school.com
