What you need to know about me …

I am a versatile musician, guitarist, producer and composer. My love for music began at the age of 12 when I first started taking classical guitar lessons . I did my first show with my own band when I was 14 years old. I then played in a lot of different bands until I decided to form my own first professionall band called Sheela, where I collaborated with Markus (Teske) for the first time. We then released the first album called “Burned down”, that was a big success in Japan (Burrn Magazine: 86 Points). Sheela released 4 more albums and toured all over Europe and also USA, supporting acts like : Scorpions, Saga, Fates Warning, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Poison, Johnny Lang, Nazareth and many others. Sheela finally broke up and then Markus asked me to join RED CIRCUIT. So here I am!

Beside this events I also played in more than 500 Shows with my acoustic band „”3 Monkeys and a Dog”, and I established my “Modern Guitar School”, where I am teaching Guitar- and Bassplaying // www.modern-guitar-school.com
