I would like to apologize for the rather poor sound quality which is due to the improvised audio engineering and recording equipment and the bad acoustics I have to cope with in my living-room...
Some words about myself: I am a British-German singer-songwriter, grew up in Frankfurt/Main suburbia and have been living in Berlin since 2000.
Musical Bio:
* Started hitting the pans and dishes in my mother's kitchen before I could even walk
* Went to music school at age 5 where I tried to make a glockenspiel sound like an instrument
* Sang in a choir during elementary school and was really scared of solo performances
* Started learning the guitar at age 11 but quit when I was 12 (there must have been other things on my mind at the time...)
* Picked up the guitar at 18 and never put it down again
* Formed a band (Lady Laramie) in the "beautiful" town of Langen where we played our hearts out for 5 years. We played a mixture of metal, grunge, electro, reggae, punk, funk and hardcore which is also known under the genre called 'Dorf-Rock' (we called it 'Progressive Schweinerock'...)
*While being the vocalist of the band I studied classical singing for a year
* Moved to the big city and therefore had to quit the band (which was quite hard 'cause we were doing really fine, even had gigs abroad...)
* Started writing songs on my own and became part of a 2-men-band with my pal CK who can rock like no other guy in this town. My part was playing the drums which led to a lot of broken drum sets... (there we have the link to point number one, by the way)
*Now I'm busy recording my songs to get them out to you via MySpace and looking for a chance to play live somewhere, someday...
Hi Daniel. Thanks for the request. Did we meet in Berlin in the weekend? I'm not good with names, and your face is a little hard to reconize, do to the picture...Cool picture though! All The Best / Sidsel
freut mich das Dir die Songs gefallen! Das Projekt von deinem Cousin hört sich auch cool an. Bin noch bis 25.7 im Vollstress, dann müssen wir spät. wieder mal was machen!
Hey Daniel, wie geht's? Hab jetzt endlich DSL und kann mir jetzt auch mal Deine Songs reinziehen. Echt nice! Und gibt's Sessions, wo man Dich mal live erleben könnte?? Ansonsten noch der Hinweis auf folgende Party am 22.12., wenn Du da noch nichts vorhast... Liebe Grüße David
Yes Daniel! Wir müssen uns mal gezielt verabreden, sonst begegnen wir uns ja nie! Ich hab' übrigens meinen ersten Song (feat. LoveChild, ebenfalls von Upliftment Sound) auf mein Profil gestellt - check das mal ab! Die Musik ist allerdings von Konserve ... aber irgendwie muß man ja mal anfangen, nicht wahr? Hab eine schöne Zeit, Grüße an Ana... Alles Liebe
