JadeWeb : What is your first musical memory ?
It was a German "Schlager" (like chanson in Germany) - Singer called "Roland Kaiser", I think. The song that I loved was called "Santa Maria".

Which artist or song has "affected" your childhood ?
Eee 1

Did you think of working in music ? What did you really want to become later ?
A long time I wanted to become a software developer for Computer-Games. I wanted to create Computer Games. But since I was 15 I wanted to become a musician.

Are there any disturbing or nice sounds that have "affected"  your childhood ?
Canīt really remember. My mother voice always sounded nice to me.

Did your parents give you a musical education ?
No. My sisters learned an instrument called "Zither" (known from the movie "The 3rd man" for e.G.). Pretty much a Bavarian or Austrian string-instrument. They stopped taking lessons and practicing 2 years later and so my parentīs didnīt want me to learn something, īcause money was rare and they didn’t want to spend money on lessons and instruments, for doing it just a year or two. They feared, that I would also quit after a while....

Can you tell us about a musical memory of your childhood (a concert, a show..) ?

When my fahter bought the first radio-tape-recorder. I can still remember this and that then we (my sisters and me) started recording music from the radio. But I canīt remember any special song or something.
