Ever since I can remember music has been a big part of my life. I was given my first guitar at the age of eight and immediately knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through music I found a way to express and explain and through my songs I discovered a way to interact, connect and affect the emotions of others.
My influences are many but would say a mixture of blues, folk, country & rock as my main input. This has resulted in my own songs having a unique ‘Americana’ hybrid feel to them. My songs are of memories past, events of the present and thoughts of the future. With many hours spent as a session musician behind me, coupled with a steady supply of live work I have managed to take my passion & make it my profession.
Recently my songs have been transformed by the fantastic & haunting violin work of my daughter Heidi. She is a classically trained musician with the amazing ability to play any genre or style of music. Playing on my latest CD ‘Repeat Offender’, Heidi can be seen accompanying me at live appearances, gigs and house concerts.

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
