SASH!

Surely, in the pop-universe, anything is possible… but that someone from Viersen near Mönchengladbach starts a world career is a bit unbelievably but true! That a boy from the Niederrhein produces pop melodies who are going around the planet through clubs and charts is one of the big success stories of German pop music. After now 26 years of big success and well over 26 million international sold CDs SASH! is still rocking the dance floors all over the world. All his songs entered the charts around the world, almost everywhere in the top ten positions.

SASH! Made a trip into the Business-Class of the charts, where normally only Madonna, Ricky Martin or U2 get the top spots. The first song in 1994 was called Careca-Indian Rave. After a small success, he met again with his two partners, Thomas and Ralf one year later and started a new song under a new name. SASH! was born. The first single "It's my Life" came out in 1995 and became a straight a club hit all over Europe. But the big breakthrough came with "Encore Une Fois" in 1996. A perfect mix of progressive house, trance beats, and, of course, pop sounds. After this, one hit came after the other.

Living in silence, in his new house with a swimming pool and sauna, … but not in London, New York or Monte Carlo, …

...he still lives in Viersen.
