About Martin Behr

Martin has released 2 instrumental CDs as a solo artist and is currently recording his third solo CD. He gigs with the Iron Maiden-Tribute-Band "KILLERZ" and the Rock-Band "Sunny Skies". Besides teaching, his schedule also includes playing live and studio sessions. Martin started playing guitar in 1985 after playing flute, piano and accordion. Eager to progress quickly he started taking lessons right away with GIT-graduates Felix Schmeing and Carol Knauber. In 1988 he teamed up with bass virtuoso Rolf Sander (now KILLERZ and Queen Kings) and Andi Altmeier (now KILLERZ) to form the instrumental and experimental band REVERSE who released two demos. Two years later, after finishing school he enrolled at MGI (Munich Guitar Institute) and graduated in 1991. While studying guitar, he formed the Funk-Rock Band BAD LUCY BOND who released two demos. In 1992 he joined the Rock-Band BABY'S IN BLACK, who released the CD "Between" in 1995. After the breakup of REVERSE, he started working on his first solo-CD "Keeping the balance" which was released in 1994. His versatile profile and interest in different musicial styles got him some gigs with iranian singer/composer Siavash Ghomeyshi and he composed and recorded two soundtracks for the computer-games "MÄX!" and "Mobility"; he even played dark wave with Danger de mort on two CDs and live. In 1999 he realesed his second instrumental album "Law of the jungle" again featuring his favourite musicians Rolf Sander on bass and Alex Bisch (Martingan) on drums. Martin has played the german Jemfest three times, sharing the bill with shredding buddies Ricky Garcia (LaFee), Marcel Coenen (Sun Caged) and Eric Vandenberg (writer for "Guitar"-Mag). In 2002 he played guitar on the pop-rock album "Catwalk Autobahn" by Oliver Burg. Martin has fulfilled one of his dreams by building his own studio in 1997. "The jungle" is an analog old-school 24-track studio. Besides own music, Martin has recorded and produced a few CDs like Jack Slater's "Crescendo" (1998), Abolishment's "Full Moon" (1999), Free Rein's "Coma Blue" (2001) or Highheels' "Dead end country" (2003) at the jungle. Martin can be seen on two DVDs "Rock meets classic" and "35 Jahre Jubilee Tour" with the Sunny Skies. Click here to see upcoming dates with KILLERZ. When not gigging, writing, recording, teaching or practicing, Marting likes running, working out in the gym, playing badminton and soccer, practicing martial arts, racing his Yamaha motorcycle or simply watching DVDs.
