UDO DIRKSCHNEIDER - THE VOICE

Birth: Wuppertal 1952.4.6. Lenght: 169 cm.

 

Udo got his music interest when he was about 12 - 13, when the Beatles and Stones songs came out.

From the beginning Udo wanted to be an organ player but the wish disappeared and instead he just sang (Thank god). In the beginning he made music with people at the school just for joy. By the time he began practising more and intensively and took it more seriously.

Udo imitated certain singers, copying a lot of Gillan, Jagger and Rod Stewart. He did this because they all have their own ways of singing and Udo thought it important to find out how they did it. In this way he developed his (Godsent) voice.

Udo’s been producing other groups and he also co-sang on the Raven album "Unchain The Beast". In 1990 he suffered a heart attack/body breakdown because he worked to much. Udo will release a new album with his own group U.D.O. in 97 and let us hope that he just concentrates on the music this time.
