"kakadu", meaning "cockatoo" in german, stands for Rain Forest, for Brazil, which was the main early influence in my musicmaking. As a name, "kakadu" stands for almost "too many a things": songwriter, guitarist and dj in one person. while You can hear dj kakadu playing music from Jazz, Latin, Brazil to Soul, Funk, Disco regularly in many different venues and Internet Radio (www.play-fm.net) in Vienna...

- as the songwriter kakadu i am now working on my latest project: the amalgamation of all these diverse influences (including indian raga singing and classical music) into a very individual approach of a kind of what i would call "visionary singer/songwriting" that should feature a distinct and unique kind of harmonies and atmospheres - also due to the fact it is played entirely on the acoustic 12Strg guitar, which aims for a fresh listening experience...go for the unheard!

- as the guitarist kakadu i studied jazzguitar at the conservatory and am playing anything from these styles to experimental, spaced out overdriven guitars for electronic tunes, always in pursuit of innovative yet catchy and characteristic melodies and hooklines. collaborations include various live- and studio projects such as "Mesiac", "Magnetic Drift", "Helium Grooves" by raybeat, the "On The Beach" Remix by Lorenzo Al Dino (7th District Records) for the sampler "On The Beach 2" and diverse Jazz- and Soul Formations,
