German singer, percussionist guitarist and music executive from Frankfurt.
He co-founded the Kratrock and Jazzrock band Dzyan in 1971 with Reinhard Karwatky and contributed the band's name due to his then-interest in occultism. He left the band in late 1972 and co-founded Hardcake Special in 1973. In 1974, he started his career as music executive at [l46221] in Frankfurt. In 1984, he became CEO of the company, which he stayed in its successor companies until late 2001.
