Strongly Influenced by Music and methods from Depeche Mode and Trent Reznor, creating something that could be possibly named Industrial-Pop.
Band/artist history
The start of it all could be described with the time, were i spent a year on a construction site, working almost all the time alone. They played very often "Twist in my sobriety" from Tanita Tikaram on the radio and after some time i had the lyrics in my head and sang along. When the song was over i made up new melodies and rhythms and just sang on. After doing that, i thought about how easy it was for me to think of new tunes and rhythms and planned to make more out of that ability in the future.
After my first "Fun-Keyboard" with prerecorded rhythms, i got myself some more advanced Equipment and started programming first songs, additionally writing lyrics. A Milestone probably was the day, when a friend of mine who was making music on his own, asked me for some lyrics for a song he wrote, because he wanted to see how it sounds, having something to sing along to it. A few months later i was together with this friend in my first Band-Project.
But those other two band-members gave me a hard-time, often not showing up for meetings. So it happened one day, that i created out of my frustration within 6 hours a perfect song, which convinced me that i was ready to write my own music in a serious way. From this day it became more and more easier for me to write lyrics and songs.
Then came a time where i had to find out more than i ever wanted to know about love, giving my songwriting a high which created songs for 2 albums, one better than the other, but pulling myself into an abyss, i'm still trying to escape from today.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Since I don't have a Band, I don't play Live, because I don't really like singing (acting) to playback. But i would like to play live and experiment with my Songs, with a Band in the Future.
