Born on June 13, 1952 in Berlin. After leaving the Shatters (the band accompanying Berlin singer Schlager Manuela) in July 1970, he joined Agitation Free (he went by the nickname “Joshi” in that band) when Ax Genrich left to play with Guru Guru. He played in Agitation Free until May 8, 1973. He was addicted to heroin and after the Sound disco gig he did not return to the band (he did not show up for the group's meeting related to its departure for another tour of France) and was replaced by Stefan Diez. He later worked at his father's hi-fi equipment store in the Moabit district of West Berlin. He never recovered from his drug addiction, although he tried hard for a short time. He died on May 14, 1990 - he was found dead in a subway station in Berlin (most likely from a drug overdose).
