Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Dr. Jules was born Julian Keogh in 1962 in the suburbs of south London and arrived in Germany thirty years later after having lived most of his adult life in the north of Britain, Switzerland and northern New Jersey.
Although trained as a scientist (hence his Doctorate) he always entertained a passion for music since he first tinkered with the piano keys at the tender age of seven.
At the age of nine he also started learning the violin, but unable to muster pleasant noises from his father's tenpenny fiddle, he quickly gave that up and taught himself - as many youths in his native London - to play the guitar. He developed his own playing style (with both piano and guitar) and started writing his first tunes at the age of fourteen.
His initial works were classical nuances (piano trios and sonatas) after which he moved to writing ballads and rock melodies which he has continued until today in his own style, variously described as Elton John meets Marc Cohn meets --Dr. Jules.
Dr. Jules gigs regularly both on a solo basis and as front man in various band formations. His first love, however, is writing and performing his own music.
