Imagine a classical guitar trained Dean Martin on a Brazilian beach , playing BossaNova. A Couple of Caipirinha instead of Bourbon. Sounds smooth like" Easy - listening "on steroids.. .
Just "swayyy..." and enjoy!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
To make it short: I left Hamburg in 1991 with my little sailboat. When I arrived in Madeira, Portugal, I started playing for money in a 5-star-hotel and was hooked immediately.
The Banker had died and the Entertainer was born.
After 5 singlehanded Atlanticcrossings and 6 years live-aboard I am now stranded in beautiful Siem Reap,Cambodia....AND: As long as I have a hat and a guitar, I will not starve.
Thanks, God, for the talent.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Laos, Cambodia. I play live, thats what I am good at.Multilingual , brilliant, charming, the worldchampion. Anything but modest. You fake it , until you make it. See for yourself, book me and....
Your musical influences
I like the old guys, Franky, Dean, Sammy.
Astaire. Appreciate solid workmanship, hate Computermusic.Joao Gilberto, Joao Bosco, Chico, Caetano, the whole club from brazil gives me a good feeling.
What equipment do you use?
6 strings, or is that a sexual-related question?
Anything else?
It was in 1997, I heard about this Grammy- nomination.. but thats a too long a story to tell here.....
