a blind tolerating man’s extreme aggression fuelled by the lust for
oil, money & power. Outspoken objective opinions are no longer tolerated. Fearing for their survival, women have no other choice but to split society into two separate species, as the planet’s eco system is struggling to sustain life!

Home Again: “I could tell you a lot of funny things that have happened within the last 30 Years in studios or on stage, but the best way to understand what I’m doing is to listen too my music.”
Welcome friends to my website!
In the course of my plus 30 years working as a vocalist, songwriter and music-producer, I’ve seen and heard a lot, which would be worth mentioning, but I’d like to limit the information to the essentials. If you are interested in more, then feel free to contact me!
Back in 1993 I founded my own label called Non-Stop Music Productions (NSMP).
The idea behind NSMP was to produce my own music independently from record companies and later license my productions to labels worldwide. I also intend to help produce and record other independent artists.
