What is music to you? What does it give you?

Since I was a child I can remember me listen to music. I was born in the GDR and in this time listen to music wasn't that easy like nowadays, especially rock music from the "west". I'm actual a bit privileged that my grandma and my fathers cousin could smuggle some Beatles and Stones into our country. So my Dad listen to those records everytime he had the chance to do and over the time it infected me as well. Since then I can't remember one day without loving and living music.

What is your music dream?

Good Question. I don't know if I actually have music dreams. When I was younger I wished to be famous and get money from making music but today I would say my wish is to play as long in my life as I can

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Split up Nickelback

Queen, The Beatles, The Kinks, Guns'N'Roses, Oasis, Pink Floyd

Almost everything

What is the message you want to send with your music?

The message is depending on the theme of each song or the mood I'm in when writing songs. I like to be flexible

Like I'm floating on ecstasy... better than any drug and sex combined
