Lead-Guitar
About:
Once upon a time... , that's enough with fairy tales ;-). I started playing guitar when I was 14 and all because of Angus Young. At this time I came into contact with rock music. AC/DC, Metallica, Manowar, all the big legends of rock were played by my CD player. And on one day I asked my Dad if he still has his old acoustic guitar. So I started reading books and my Dad taught me the basics.
After a couple of month my brother and me, he had also started to play, decided to buy the first electric guitar. My brother got into contact with the local band >>STAFF<< and we started with guitar lessons by Stefan Holoubek from whom I learned all important things about music.
The real first band was together with my brother and my dad, playing at home. After some time I joined the band "Wie.Neu-Lich", playing funk soul cover songs. After the spitting of this band "FreeCompetition" was the next step in my music experiences. I learned a lot during this nearly 3 years of playing with this band. "Why Not" and "Pure Gravity" followed until playing cover songs was getting boring.
Together with Erich, Thomas and Stefan we decided to start a new project with our own song. Now we are here and our passion is rock.
