Hi!!! I am Christian, and I am a musician. The last three years i been living in London, but because the weather (:) i change my mind and I came back to my beautiful city, Barcelona. In London was nice, I done a few of soundtracks for a movies, and I got my own recording studio. Now I have a big studio in Barcelona and I change my philosophie of the music. I am still playing in live concerts, but my mind is in electronic music.
Why this name?
In London I was living in Pears Road, Hounslow, and in my house we done a lot of parties. Every body start to know my house as a Pears Club. Of course, my studio was in there, and every body start to call me Pears club.
Do you play live?
Yeah. The next gig is with a big band, ( I am playing the trombone) COTTON CLUB BIG BAND. I) have a few concerts with theys, but my dreams is form my electronic band. I am start to thinking to set up my own electronic band (I will tell you). My experience as a musician (15 years!!!) is a very large experience. I played around the world with diferents kind of bands. Probably the most special event was in Casablanca (moroco).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes, of course. But the problem is people like me, because I LIVE FOR THE MUSIC, and we sale less records than before, and the records labels doesīnt want spend to much money for us...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes of course, why not??? But to be honest I think is very dificult in this time to sing a contract...BUT I STILL ALIVE!!!!
Band History:
I done to many things. I played cities like Monaco, Madrid, canary Island, Casablanca, Neuchatel, London, Barcelona, Sevilla, Bilbao,Vitoria, Toulouse, Paris, Istambul. With another names, I done a few records with diferents records label (be good, for croma) (inferno as co-producer with bit...and many more).
