At the age of 6 I knew everything. Music. Otherwise, nothing is considered for me. In addition to two educations in “regular jobs”, I’ve always worked on me and my drum skills. After three years of private tutoring with Ralf Figura, I took one additional year of private tutoring with Jan Rohlfink (Drummers Institute Düsseldorf). At age 16 I was in a studio with a band for the first time – now the next door was open. Sound engineer. Yesss!!! Additional to my band activity and my dayjob I have built my own home-studio and so I produced my first demos. Since 1999 I work as a freelance producer in my professional studio by now und there I give drum lessons. At the end of 1993 I become an endorser for Meinl cymbals, 2006 I discovered Agner sticks.

In the last 20 years I worked as a musician or producer with following bands and artists: Nytemare, Salvage, Hartmann, Cyber Axis, The Traceelords, Powergod, Seafoam Green, Sodom, Onkel Tom, Bullig, Die Gesandten, Twyster, El Postre, Blackwell, Obscurity, Trust Rocks, Stefan Kleinkrieg, Peter Fischer, Eroc, Doro… With my bands I was among others on tour with: Whitesnake, J.B.O., Bela B., Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Status Quo, Axel Rudi Pell, Rob Rock, Asia, Kansas, Molly Hatchet.

30.12.2006: After a legendary show with the Traceelords in Cologne, and the band split the same night, I founded Slick’s Kitchen with bassplayer and singer Slick Prolidol. Since august 2007 I am teaching drums at the “Music Store Hagen Musicschool”, and since october 2007 I run the drum section at “Music Store Hagen”. In 2007 and 2008 I’ve been making friends all over Germany, Holland, Belgium, Great Britain and Switzerland with Slick’ s Kitchen. The December 2008 we spend on the road touring the UK with “The Damned”. Spring 2009. Now I’m a real Indian and since then me and Slick join Oliver Timm on the way through the wild wild west.
