My year 2017 ended with two inspiring sessions: the funk jam initiated by Cosmo Klein and joined by my dear colleagues Alex Grube, Benny Greb and Julius Trautvetter and mixing sessions with the great Swen Meyer for my upcoming album.

As a session player, I very well know this from any studio gig I play, but to

After playing gigs with Elif and Kiddo Kat earlier this year, the request came to play guitar with Yvonne Catterfeld. We had a great tour in march playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Never complaining, never criticizing anything in all the weeks we spent

A lot of festivals and open air shows this summer - with Michael Patrick Kelly, L'aupaire, Pohlmann, Tokunbo and Kiddo Kat. The highlights were MS Dockville, Palác Akropolis(CZ) and Fusion. The East European leg of the Michael Patrick Kelly tour took us to Warsaw (PL), Krakow(PL) and Prague(CZ) - countries I enjoy staying in! In between, I jumped into various Morgenmagazin TV shows: most bizarre was travelling to Bordeaux to shoot ARD Morgenmagazin there with

I'm happy to announce that I will be playing bass in a new TV show on Vox Germany. Not sure how much I'm allowed to say - but this much: the band is gonna be awesome and it's gonna be different from what is currently on TV music-wise. More info later, right now I'm on tour with the L'Aupaire family in Germany and Switzerland - much fun and some sold out shows! I did recordings
