During the time I spent in elementary school I knew that I wanted to learn either playing the drums or the trumpet. For a short moment, people tried to convince me of the flute, but they failed...the flute wasn't loud enough, on the other hand the drums weren't acceptable for my parents. That's why the trumpet became my first music instrument.
Listening to the music of U2 in 1991 for the first time, I realized that all my interests for the deeper instrument, the bass, were getting more and more intensive. Short time later, I bought my very own electric bass guitar using the little money I had, and from now on I rehearsed playing to several U2 CDs, till I knew most of them by heart. Of course, I also dreamed of being as famous as U2, to get the chance to change my body into the one of Adam Clayton. Today, it's not that serious any more, because now it's me and my best friends that are making music together, there's nothing but harmony and at least we enjoy our music very much.
