Years of musical self-discovery followed… School band (model: The Cure), cover band, then melodic rock in the style of the 80s with original compositions of the band, then more covers. Sometime in the middle I took singing lessons. My musical interest shifted more and more from rock/pop to progressive rock and metal. But I also like well done pop, funk and jazz. I am out when it comes to German “Schlager” music or country.
My interest in prog has now brought me to Mihrax, where I’ve been happily joining as a singer since summer 2022.
My vocal heroes are Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), because they are (or were) in a league of their own… then nothing for a long time… then Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief), Robert Smith (The Cure), Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) or Kai Wingenfelder (Fury In The Slaughterhouse) among others. The last 4 mentioned not because they are technically supernatural singers, but because they manage to give their respective band an unmistakable voice and have thus become part of a very unique sound.
