‘qr’ is a young man with a special interest in music. He spend the last couple of years with his acoustic guitar. In fact, he started to play guitar on an old mandolin that he inherited from his grandmother. Only a few years later, he bought himself an old acoustic guitar from his schoolfriend. The same instrument he is still playing today. He always found it easier to compose his own songs, rather than learning to play songs from others. Doing that, he’s developed his very own style, which is a combination of his soft voice with lovely indie-melodies and strumming, blurry guitarplaying. The guitarplaying somehow seems (at first) kind of unusual in comparison with now-a-day radio rock/pop music. Thats because there are lots of changing rhythms and tempi. Though now, it is quite difficult to fit that into the context of a band. Maybe thats why he never tried to play in a band. The style could be called singer/songwriter. Thus a very unspecified genre; its some kind of (acoustic) guitar-based indie-rock/pop music.
Singing in english as a german sometimes seems difficult. For him there was actually no choice – it is easier! cos the english language has a flow that fits quite good to rock/pop struktures. German though has a rough edge to it that works like a stakkato on an otherwise smooth flow.
The songs can be very different. They varify from a slow balad calmness (first date) to upbeat rock- stomping vividness (golden smile).

“qr” just moved from Berlin (Germany) to Basel (Switzerland). In Berlin he played in alomost every cafe, pub and small clubs.
In 2006 he spent 3 Weeks touring Germany with his Singer/Songwriter-friend Jabis Elko. They played 16 Gigs together. Since beeing in Basel he started to play gigs there to.
At the moment he tryes to get a band together (violin, dublebass, percussion, accordion).
The aim is two have to sets, a solo-set and a band-set.
