"Music has opened a coloured
world to me and makes my life full of happenings, adventures and
friendships. To be a musician is sometimes hard, but you can have a
interesting life, meet very different people. To perform on stage
and feel the energy of music is the greatest for me. Never be shy or
afraid to make your way with music!"

Bylle, where were you born?
I was born in “Landsberg am Lech”, 60 km
south/west of Munich, Germany.
Do you
come from a musical family?
No, not at all. Nobody in my family has
anything to do with music except my
father, singing in the church ;O). As a
teenager I loved listening to “hard
rock” music and now I groove as well on
R´n´B and soul. After school I wanted to
study art because I loved drawing. But
money had to be made, so I had to start
an apprenticeship in an office.
What was
your very first stage appearance?
I started with over 20 learning my
instruments. And I became fanatic. Even
my passion for motorcycling faded!
Believe it or not, one year later I had
my first gigs! I played bass and
acoustic guitar in a duet, doing
background music for actors who read
poems on stage for a live audience.
Later on I played with a few rock
cover-bands and enlarged my experience
as a bassist. My professional career
began with the well-known Munich
girlsband “Electric Ladyland”. They
asked me to join them and that was
really the start of real band-feeling.
We had a lot of live-concerts and we
performed many times on TV. We worked
intensively together by composing our
own songs. We produced the CD “112
beats”. It was a really great time for
me.
Which
bassist do you most admire?
I loved
to see TM Stevens on stage, I'm
impressed by Flea with his freaky way,
Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and Piotr
Cichewicz.
Tell us about your
instruments/amp/gear?
Since 3 years I use Status Series II,
headless, from the 80s. I like this bass
guitar because of its clear big sound
and it has a superb action one of the
best I have come across. I started
playing with a Warwick Dolphin II and I
would not give it away, because it's
also very special.
My bass amp is an Mark Bass Little Mark
II, cabinets are 2x10 and 1x15, also of
Mark Bass.
. . . and
your current musical projects?
Currently I'm playing in three bands:
The ladies rock-band Wildcats
with international musicians,
Gaslight, (rock & blues trio) and my
exciting new project Daisy Ultra.
This is the kind of band I always wanted
to be a part of, four powerful women,
who have love for music, a talent for
their instrument and know how to tear up
a stage (tour: 2009)!
Apart
from Electric Ladyland, what other bands
have you played with?
The last 2 years I was a member of
Mickey Monroe Band (rock-singer &
songwriter), played with Dena & Band,
which was a collective project with
German lyrics. I was part of projects
like the Grand Prix Eurovision 2007 in
Bulgaria with Tedi Katzarova and I'm
constantly playing with different rock,
RnB and soulbands.
What are your hobbies outside
music?
I love art, nature, reading and
travelling. I also have a talent for
computers and make professional
web-design for businesses.
Have you performed outside Germany
and Bulgaria?
Yes, around Europe like Austria and
Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and
Italia.
What is your latest CD/album?
Bavaria's thrilling Gaslight - first
Gaslight CD - “Gaslight Road No I” 2008.
Dena & Band debut album "Lebe deinen
Traum“ (Live Your Dreams) 2006 and
Electric Ladyland's album “112 Beats” in
2004. |
