BIO
After several school bands, in 1995 developed with Mantragora the first serious formation. Afterwards some stations followed until 1998 the formation Red to Grey (R2G) was established.
In 2002, I left R2G and joined the power metal band Valley's Eve. In the same year I also set up the Deep Purple / Rainbow cover band Burn.
The begin of 2007 finally saw the release of my first instrumental record called "Liquid Emotions" and another album ("Naked'), recorded together with my band, saw the
light of day in 2010.
In 2013, I joined Purpendicular, one of the most successful Deep Purple tribute bands.
2015 was a busy and exciting year to me, I became a member
of the legendary German rock band Bonfire and also released
my second solo instrumental CD "Six String Tales" on Borila records/ H'Art distribution worldwide.
One year later, I decided to found the classic rock influenced band Sainted Sinners and in 2018 another more progressive rock orientated band called Dark Blue Inc.
If time and circumstances permit, I'm happy to perform with yet another project of mine called Lydia & Frank Pané's Six String Tales the music of my guitar heroes.
LADY EVYL, founded in 2022, is my latest project. It's the ultimate female (by my wife Lydia) fronted tribute to Black Sabbath.
I started my musical history as a 7 year old kid with piano playing and had pursued this for about further 7 years.
I came then to the point that I felt a little bit bored of just playing pieces of classic based music combined with strict
rules, and as a rebellious teenager, you are not willing to follow the rules anyway, so that I did as a 14 year old adolescent my first steps on guitar.
