Biography

The industrial sounds there and the synthetic sounds of electronic music pioneers like Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, DAF, Silver Apples, Human League, Heaven 17, OMD and Giorgio Moroder inspired him to produce his own music. His music is a mixture of Krautrock, New Wave and New Romantic.
