About me
Born in 1967 in Vienna Austria, I studied classical piano starting age 6, when I turned 17, I co-founded "Twilight Zone" a band that won several band–contests, their first single produced by Richie Oesterreicher jr.
At age 21, I moved to Antwerp Belgium, studied in Jazz-studio for two years, then joined Jean-Bosco Safari and in the course of the next years, many other bands ( Andrea Kronenberghs "La Piovra", The Jenkins, etc.)
From age 17, I owned a computer-based studio in order to develop my skills as programmer/producer(starting on commodore 64 in 1983, moving to Atari 1040 and finally to Apple, embracing Pro Tools when it first came out…) I eventually moved up to maintain a professional studio(MadHat-Studio, Zoersel, Belgium), where I co-produced J.B.S. "Visions of Home" in 1998.
Since then I didn’t stop writing/producing for several projects, including music for Austrian Television (ATV+), Katrin Lampe ( Austrian artist) and Belgium Director Fabrice Chan-Chiang.
In 2007 I produced and arranged together with Jean Bosco Safari his new Album "Private Revolution" and started - inspired by my lovely daughter Jody - the Girlieband ROSA, a project for Kids. 2008 is definitely a rosa-year.
For 2009 I plan the release of " 'cuz versus Jürgen,the Infiltrator ", a clubstyle Danceproduction in co-production with Guido Maes.
