About Us:
It all started back in the end 60s and beginning 70s when I started with my music. After playing in several bands in the Krefeld/Germany area like Neewa Rock Band, I decided to go abroad for a while and playing street music in Southern Europe, espcially in Greece, Northern Africa and Middle East. But also in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Austria. While travelling as a back-packer I had the chance to meet many musicians from all over the world and and improve my musical horizon. I started writing my own songs then. Of course my major influences are the folk based musicians of the sixties and seventies like Dylan, Neils Young but also Blues, Rock and Jazz music had a big impact on my song writing. I have to admit that I never got any lessons on the instruments that I play, I am an autodidact. Anyway, I'm trying to play for many yeearsbut am still a dilettante. I use to record my songs at home, I have one room just for my music. I record mainly on weekends because my profession doesn't give me much time for my passion.
