October 10th 2005. Strolling through the park. All of a sudden, there was this magic beat, that magnetism, that truly moved and touched me. I came closer. There it was. There HE was: ALEX DEUTSCH, on stage with a killer band, kicking asses and touching my dazzled soul. Stunning!! Pure passion!! Ok, now it all made sense: This was the drummer everybody was raving about and who had been on tour with some of the hottest musicians on this planet: Parliament Funkadelic, Woody Shaw, Kundalini Mark Batson (Arrested Development, Beyonce, Eminem), DJ Krust, Dough Wimbish (Living Color), Yossi Fine (David Bowie) – to name just a few.
This guy made me really nervous, I must admit; I couldn..t believe that he offered to produce an album with me right away. No wonder, I “Can..t Sleep”. For the next days I am just “Spinnin..Round In Circles”… AleX became the one who helped me regain my confidence into my own inner voice, my songs, my performance and my visions. “Thank God I..m A Woman” now, who trusts in her believes and knows what she wants! Since AleX and I became a working team on a professional and international level, we not only found out that we both grew up pretty much in the same neighbourhood in two tiny and remote towns in southern Styria/Austria. We also immediately understood to fuse and combine our strengths and skills: song+beat, melody+harmony, rock+dance, ecstatic+sometimes sad, folk+funk, pop+street, Berlin+Paris, NY+Vienna and most of all the love we share for real, great and slammin.. live music!
