Details Press Release.

In 1977, almost on his way to the entrance examination for music studies, he spontaneously deviated from his supposedly predetermined path and decided on a more "respectable" profession. After graduating as a translator for Spanish and English in 1981 in Berlin, he worked for many years mainly as an interpreter, translator, radio journalist and freelance writer. During this time, professional and family reasons took him again and again to an island that also had a lasting musical influence on him. In the bands of his youth, he mainly played the keyboard, but later switched to the guitar, to which he has remained faithful to this day. These days, however, he is drawn even more often to his home studio, where he tries to incorporate the numerous musical influences of his youth into his own tunes, but also tried out something new like this melancholic ballad "The Beggar's Prayer" – here on this CD. https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/0Op0ALm5KudYvkAuXWTepR?si=e6529814a51e4856
