ABOUT ME


Don't Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream!

 

I was born on the 10. February 1985 in Linz, Austria. When I was 6 years old, I learned the keyboards, two years later I wrote my first songs. As a keyboardplayer I won some awards. I'm a drummer and saxophonist, but most of all, I'm a guitarplayer and songwriter.

I'm a child of the eighties and adore the rock music of this era and - of course - I love the 60ies and 70ies music and its spirit. At the time I work as a musician & music producer. I wrote about 1000 songs for bands, musicians (for example John Lawton from Uriah Heep & Les Humphries Singers) and other projects.

I'm the owner of JPS (Jack Power Studios) and the president of the music label Boyz Tyme Records. I studied journalism at the university of Vienna and I am the department head of public relations and marketing in a social organisation called Institut Hartheim.

At the time I work and live in Stroheim/Austria.
