Geschichte

"Just when you think you've heard the whole singer-songwriter thing, along comes one man and one guitar and sounds like this"
- Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6

The sight of a singer with an acoustic guitar may evoke certain musical stereotypes, but you may find Soulitaire to sound a little bit different. Because I use my guitar not only for strumming and fingerstyle playing, but also as bass and drums to create a sound that you'd maybe rather expect from a small band than from a solo artist. Vocal sounds and mouthtrumpet are the only other sounds I add in my live performances to create the underlying atmosphere I love to get lost inside singing. All that to serve my songs of mindfulness and love.

I've been playing guitar nearly all my life, seeking to express my musical visions in the best possible way. But despite studying jazz guitar and various other styles and techniques, it wasn't until I started experimenting with one of Joni Mitchell's open guitar tunings in early 2015 that I finally found the door to my very own sonic world. The two other main ingredients to my sound are the use of reverb and distortion blended with my acoustic guitar. And in the studio I give myself the freedom to add a little more colours in the form of electric- and bass guitar, keyboard and drum programming. And lots of backing vocals <3 :-D
