At the tender age of five Johannes already used his mom's cooking pots as drums. At the age of five he started taking drum lessons at the local music school.
Since 1999 Johannes has played in several different pop/rock bands. As the drummer of SOUNDNUGGET he produced their debut “Champagne & Panties” (Mai 2008) under his own direction.
Their greatest successes include the shows at “Das Fest” where Johannes had the opportunity to share the stage with Fettes Brot, Sportfreunde Stiller, Willy De Ville, and Roisin Murphy.
2006 he received a scholarship for the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Los Angeles, Ca where he took latin percussion and percussion ensemble master classes.
Since October he has been studying pop music design at the Pop Academy Baden-Wuerttemberg with Professors Udo Dahmen, Jost Nickel, Benny Greb, Dom Famularo, Claus Hessler und Lui Ludwig. Live shows for the national representation of the EU in Brussels and at the “Arena of Pop ..2007” event with Pink, Juli and the Killerpilze followed.
In late 2007 he participated in the production of a television spot for the national “Wir können alles außer Hochdeutsch”(We can do anything except speaking proper German) campaign of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The spot was broadcast on all public and private networks (ZDF, DSF, RTL, NTV, n24, etc.).
Today Johannes plays in HEUSER who reached the finals of Udo Lindenberg's Panik Preis contest which took place in Calw. The Band produced their debut album “Raketenmann” in August 2008 which was intruduced on the following tour.
