Music:Member Since: 7/26/2006Band Website: stephanemig.de Band Members: Influences: I am influenced by nearly every drummer I see. The first drummer I really listened to a lot was definetly Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden. This band was my absolut favorite until I was like 15 or 16. Then there was the music of Marillion, Level 42, Spliff and others that really inspired me. When in the beginning of the 90s hiphop-music became bigger in Germany and live-bands started playing the so called jazz-hiphop or acid-jazz, I was really diggin this style a lot. That was the time, when I fell in love with Steve Jordans playing, when I first heard David Sanborns "Upfront". Other bands that really inspired me were Jamiroquai, Jazzmatazz and a local band called Traffic Jam. Through hiphop-music I got in touch with jazz-music and was really diggin this music from then on. I had the chance to play in couple of bands and what really opened up my mind and ears, were the master-classes I went to and my studies at LA Music Academy. So thanks for that :-) Now I am listening to a variety of musical styles and am very happy to play lot s of them in band-situations sometime. The last big influence probably was my work with Hamid Baroudi who introduced me to African and so called World-Music. Also playing with Cuba Libre and exploring cuban music really open up my musical interests... :-) There is more to come, I am sure and happy about it ;-) Here are some videos I play on. Please enjoy. ... don't you like that global beat kit ? I love it! solo | Mehr Videos Sounds Like: myself and all of you mixed in a glass and shaken (not stirred) :-) Type of Label: None |
