More Info:

Been making his mark on countless Berlin musical affairs since long before the fall of the Wall, with The Golden Showers, Peaches, Oum Shatt, Driver &Driver, Die Türen, Jens Friebe, to name but a few. He has also been perfoming across Europe as a solo artist for the past decade. In "Operation Schönheit" (German for "Operation Beauty"), he has recorded his most, well, beautiful album to date.
