  1. The re-issue of your solo album “One” is a fact, was it a personal decision?<\/strong>

    The reissue of \u201cONE\u201d was actually proposed to me by Georg Seigl of AOR Heaven. He felt it was a good time to bring attention back on to the album.
    <\/li>
  2. The album was released in 1993, does your material reflect ideas and thoughts that you still have on mind in 2019?<\/strong>

    It does, yes, even after all these years. If a song is true when it\u2019s written it will probably always be true.
    <\/li>
  3. Did you work to improve any audio elements in this new version?<\/strong>

    No, just added a couple of bonus tracks and a remastering. The album sounded pretty good right from the start.
    <\/li>
  4. Moreover, a new super solo album is out called Unbroken. Would you like to describe us its formation?<\/strong>

    Again it was Georg Seigl who came to me with the idea of making a collaboration with his friend Robert Boebel. We live far apart so our musical work came about through Robby sending me his musical ideas by e-mail. I then wrote lyrics and melodies that fit his music tracks and recorded the vocals here. I also took the drummers into a great studio in Toronto to record the drum tracks.
    <\/li>
  5. You have a musical collaboration with famous musicians such as Robert Boebel for this album. How did this collaboration affect the final audio result?<\/strong>

    Robert was a great writing partner for me, with a fresh exciting sound in his music ideas. He is also a wizard on guitar. I\u2019m a good guitarist but there\u2019s no way I could ever play like Robby! He worked very hard on the mixing and sound shaping to finish the album to the fine sound that it has.
    <\/li>
  6. Who did the mixing and the mastering of the album, are you satisfied of the process?<\/strong>

    As I say, Robert did all the mixing. I don\u2019t know who did the mastering but I\u2019m very pleased.
    <\/li>
  7. Would you like to discuss the lyrics of the album?<\/strong>

    In general, the lyrics on this album are a reflection of where I am today as a man and as an artist. Some are fun, some are serious, some are romantic, and some are strong statements of my beliefs.
    <\/li>
  8. When and where are you going to tour for this album?<\/strong>

    A few European dates are on the horizon. It\u2019s early to be planning any tour. Album sales are needed before people will book the show.
    <\/li>
  9. Do you also have any plans to release music with the Coney Hatch?<\/strong>

    No current plans, although there is a possible live album in the works. We have recorded a show, it\u2019s just a matter of whether we get organised to release it.
    <\/li>
  10. How do you adjust yourself to the current status of the music industry?<\/strong>

    Same as always, keep making the best music I can and keep performing everywhere that I can.
    The way it is now Is that nobody can really make it big anymore, everyone has an equal shot to make it small!
