A couple moons ago I sent out an email that got quite some attention.  Basically, it was all about what Bruce Lee, the infamous martial artist, preached as long as he walked the earth that made him this one-in-a-million fighter…and how this principle can be applied to singing.  The keyword: Fundamentals.  You don’t have to…

Lemme tell you a story: In the year 2005, yours Restless was still nothing but a bloody amateur singer.  In other words… I had way more questions about singing than answers. And although I’d taken some voice lessons in the past, it still felt like I was struggling with even the basics of singing. One…

Two weeks ago I watched a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne on TV.What a dag. It was very amusing. And also highly interesting, if you want to know how to become an in-demand frontman despite having just average singing skills. Here’s the true story:  Back in the day when the madman was still a greenhorn musician,…

Almost 4 years ago, on December 25, 2016, Mr. George Michael was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames. I didn’t cry when I heard the news. At least not from the outside. But at the same time, I felt a deep sadness and melancholy, that stayed with me for the rest of that very…

In March 2003, my long-suffering cousin & bandmate Michael and myself, released our first album. The album (the name was “Love & Lies”) never entered the market, and all we had were just a couple hundreds CDs stacked on our shelfs.  But that didn’t hold us back from thinking bigger.

To get onto the top of the charts though…hard work is inevitable. Regardless what some singing guru might tell…

It was in summer while trying on my new trunks that I realized… The pandemic lockdown has taken its toll on my waistline . But is it any wonder? After sitting at home for weeks with grocery stores as the only destination to escape the social isolation…the size of my refrigerator content… as well as…

You don’t have to be a martial artist to take advantage of Bruce Lee’s biggest secret. Neither am I. But what I read from the Chinese combat machine reminded me heavily on what I’ve used in singing throughout the last years. What am I talking about? There is this quote from Bruce Lee that says:…

It was back in the summer of 2009. My sister was throwing a housewarming party and asked me if I’d like to perform couple songs together with our cousin Michael (actually my band mate). Without hesitation I agreed.   I remember, my teacher always preached to sing as often as possible in front of other people.…

Here I am. Lying flat in my hospital bed. My head’s still dizzy from sister morphine. But hey… no complaints here. At least she did me a great service and lead me to wonderland… while my highly respected surgeon cut me open to fix my damaged meniscus. Yet all through this haze…I’m thinking… “Wouldn’t it…
