I am a composer / songwriter / arranger and a prolific musician playing primarily piano and keyboards. I simply love music and my style reflects heavy influences of Rock, R&B, Soul and Jazz.
My musical spectrum doesn’t stop there, however. I would be happy to write an Opera for your children or compose individualized music for your physical and mental relaxation. Actually one of my favorite things to compose and arrange is film music.
Just click on the music tab and feel free to listen a sampling of my work.Band/artist history
At the age of 10, I started my first piano lessons. At the age of 15, I had my first Band “The Commons”. Since that time, I have gained a lot of musical experience in a variety of bands and expanded my expertise in different musical fields. Most recently, for example, I published a primer for young musicians who want to study modern improvisation in jazz.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes I play live with several bands or Big Bands. I rarely play my own stuff -I leave that to others.For many years I have been playing with my “home band” FFRB (www.ffrb.de) a Band that embraces the R&B and Soul music of Bands like TOWER OF POWER or EARTH WIND & FIRE. It’s great fun!
Your musical influences
The range of music and musicians which have influenced me is very wide. The fact that I have become acquainted with the music of the great J.B. Bach when I was a very young guy has had as much of an impact as the rock music by Deep Purple or Joe Cocker, the "sophisticated" music of Steely Dan as well as the music of Sting and the jazz of the likes of Charlie Parker, Chick Corea and so many contemporary masters of today’s popular music (I especially like Jamie Cullum. That’s why the music work I do is so various.What equipment do you use?
I play and use Kurzweil, Roland, Yamaha, Behringer, JBL and utilize various recording software tools like Cubase and Magix.Anything else?
