…picked up the guitar at the age of 12, on the heels of Bob Dylan +++ first band “The Tambourine Men†(sic!) at about 16 +++ quickly became (in)famous with neighbours & doctors ‘cause of restless rehearsals in dampened basements +++ in the course colds & chords & bands came and went +++ took the first band with self-penned songs at the age of 20; which broke up still during the first gig +++ but soon bands lived through sometimes two or three gigs before breakin up due to musical and/or personal disagreements +++ and vice versa +++ first (and final) single at the beginning of the 90’s, which bombed (yet bein a collector’s item today) +++ followed by countless auditions which went nowhere +++ “don’t call us – we’ll call you!†+++ a hunch of success came in the middle of the 90’s with TROUBLEMAKER, along with 1200 copies sold of their first (and only) CD “Troubled Days†+++ the number of gigs started to increase, the shows got better & people began to really take notice of the band +++ so TROUBLEMAKER started aimin hard at their split in 1996 +++ only this time on account of personal disagreements +++ the following years solo shows & studio jobs as sideman, arranger & producer kinda held up vanity & ambition +++ till once more (ya guessed it) musical & personal disagreements caused the departure from stage, which holds up till today +++ though in no way meant to be definitive +++ since then it’s settin up a home-recording studio +++ for puttin down self-penned songs without – knock on wood! –musical or personal disagreements after all…
