My father was an opera-singer and my mother a kindergarten-teacher.<br> When I was four years old my mother died because of cancer in her breast. I think I assimilated it fast and well. I´d live with my father in our house and everything´d gonna be alright. I can´t remember that exact but I don´t think that I felt like anything was missing in my life even if I remember me talking to my father like "pity that mom´s gone". But there had never been bad or sad energy anyway, we were just talking `bout. The last time she was living she spent in our house cuz she wanted to die there instead of in the hospital. At the day she died I was at my grandpartents´ house so I didn´t see her dieing. Few months later my grandpa also died cuz something was wrong with his aorta. When it happened I was at their home and I remember him calling my grandma in the morning sayin´ that he´d feel very bad and she´d call the doctor. I went to him in his room but he just shouted at me to go out.<br> After my mother had died we lived alone in our house there, just us and our cat called Timmy. After some time had passed my father started meeting an other woman. I liked her very much but after one or two years this realationship´d come to an end. </td> <td><img src="/pics/2.jpg" alt="the Yo (2011)" width="150px"></td> </tr> </table> <br> <table border="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/pics/mil.jpg" width="150px" alt="Me (l) and Milena (r)"></td> <td> Some time after this my father came to know my prospective stepmother. After some time he sold the house and we moved to her apartment. She was working in a "Children's Village" and had a son called Manuel,which was four years older than me. At this time he didn´t like me that much anyway. There were times we got on with each other and times we´d hate each other, but all in all we primary started having a real relationship years after I moved to my own home. <br> My stepmother also had a sister with one son called Matthias and one daughter called Milena. Milena was as old as me and Matthias as old as my brother, so we started being at their home from time to time and had much fun. On the picture beside you see me (left) and Milena (right) posing for this picture..<br> After some time we´d say hello to a new little brother. My new stepmother was a very nice and hearty person but we had a very difficult relationship most of the time. <br> When I was 8 years old we moved to mRc in a house there and I started to learn playing the drums in a private music-school there. I stayed there at least one year cuz then I lost the interest for a while and came to high school. When I came to the high school at Tanzenberg and started playing the guitar on my own. I loved listening to <strong>alternative music</strong> and first of all to the <strong>music</strong> of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and in the first time I´d never even listen to anything else. Later I came to know the solo-music of John Frusciante. This was a very inspiring experience. I was fascinated by the style of his songs, filled by all his soul and pain. At this time I also listened to bands like Nirvana, Silverchair,Pearl Jam, Audioslave and even to some songs of Johnny Cash (his version of "Hurt" was my favorite). I also started listening to rap-music, especially to Samy Deluxe and Kool Savas. </td> </tr> </table> <br> When I reached the 4th grade at Tanzenberg I started visiting an official music-school in Klagenfurt for expanding my ability of playing the drums for another year. At this time I already became the guitar-player of my first band called "Blue Delirium". We never played a gig but it was my first band-experience ever. Then I moved to Villach for attending the EDVo-HTL but left after 3 months when i saw my first math-homework. I´ve never been the guy for math..<br> <br> <table border="0"> <tr> <td> During the whole process I continued playing the guitar on my own. I started listening to reggae-<strong>music</strong> like Capleton, Richie Spice, Chuck Fenda and Eek-A-Mouse, but I never stopped listening to the RHCP. When I came to HLW, where i also stayed for one year, I came to my second band called "<b>Gigsters Violin</b>". I came to the idea when I saw their flyer at school. One of my classmates already knew them well and few weeks later I was the drummer of this band. We played some gigs and after a while I became the guitar-player and singer. After a while we started missing rehearsals and not-caring at all so we decided to split. While playing in this band I also started playing in a second band called (the Shamrocks) as drummer. We had a female singer and played grunge. It was a really weird and great sound. At least we had one gig and then followed the same fate like Gigsters. At this time I moved around in the parks of Klagenfurt, having a nice time with my fellows. I loved to listen to punk rock like Zaunpfahl, Sid Vicious, the Zounds, Knockenfabrik and much more, but on the other side I still listened to the music of John Frusciante, but less to the RHCP. I also loved to listen to The Mars Volta, At The Drive In and harder stuff.<br> Somewhere around these years I started recording my first solo-album called "<strong>Just to record paralyzed</strong>". For recording I only had a headset-microphone, an accoustic spanish guitar (which I used to play on most of the tracks), my cheap "Silvertone" e-guitar and a weird video-cutting program. Sounds worse than the sound was. <br> One year later I finished the recording of my second solo-album called "<strong>Wind Up Space</strong>". Same location, same tools exept of the recording-program. I just moved to a little bit more professional thing, but not really. <br> Since I can remeber I prefer bad (not completely sterile) quality and not-exactly-holding-rythm-all-the-time cuz it sounds much more dirty, real, human and emotional. In my mind a better way to express your feelings. The same reason as I use the english language even if my mother tongue is german. Beside my want to make my music international I just think it´s a better sound. The abstract lyrix want to make the listener think on his own instead of telling what it is about. So similar like a bible my lyrics want the audience to fit `em on their own experience.<br> If you´d ask me where I´ve got my interest in music from, I´d tell you that it must have been my father who had put it in my cradle. He was a fantastic singer and <strong>musician</strong>, and even he is now. When I was a child he always played guitar for me and sang when I couldn´t sleep. Later I heard him playing the piano nearly every day at home, even if we did´nt meet that often cuz I rarely left my room. </td> <td> <table border="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/pics/14.jpg" width="150px" alt="the Yo (2004?, HLW)"></td> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/pics/30.jpg" width="150px" alt="the Yo (2004?, Schützenpark)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/pics/45.jpg" width="150px" alt="the Yo (front) & Stro (background)(2004?)"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <table border="0"> <tr> <td> <table border="0"> <tr> <td> <img src="/pics/42.jpg" width="150px" alt="the Yo (2005?)"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="/pics/13.jpg" width="150px" alt="Stro (l) the Yo (r) (2010?)"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td> When I moved out from my parents house I moved to my grandma the first time, and then to my first own home at Klagenfurt. My grandma was a really caring person, but you know that it´s not always easy for two distant generations to live under one roof. We had many many differences but beside these, we´d always know that we love each other. I stayed there at least two years and then had to move out cuz some "wannabe ganxtas" robbed me and the police found a wardrobe full of growing marijuana-plants.. Bad luck.. After this I moved to a friend and stayed there for one year till I moved to my next own home where I´d live with many people, few confidential.<br> In year 2011 I finished my 3rd album called "<strong>Neversong</strong>". It tells about the way through emptiness and shows up different moods and parts of life, addiction, relationships, weakness and strength. <br> Few months later the first part of the next album called "<strong>Back Ahead pt. I</strong>" was released. This complete one tells about the next hard way straight ahead back through lots of different situations from hell toward good life.<br> In addition there are some other projects running beside this main-thing. I also started making rap tracks (the first ones ´round the time when I was 12) and an electronic-project called "<a href="www.myspace.com/degeschdigem">Degeschdigem</a>" which started somewhere `round 2010 and ended 2011.</td> </tr> </table> <br> The name "<b>the Yo</b>" has many origins and reasons.
