| Sacha
Kalabrese - A 35 year-old guy from Zurich, deeply lost in music for
many years in different ways: as a producer, live performer, club owner
and a DJ . When I was 12 years’ old my mother gave me a drums-kit
and I learned how to play. At 18 years old I was the drummer of a funkhip hop-group in Zurich called Sendak.
We recorded 2 LP records and toured around Switzerland. Since 2000 I
have been producing my own music on different labels, in Switzerland
(stattmusik, phictiv) and in foreign countries (perlon-berlin, bearfunk-uk).
My Debut Album “Rumpelzirkus” came out last March 07. I
am currently working on a new album and play live gigs with my band,
the rumpelorchestra, both in Europe and overseas. www.myspace.com/kalaspalz |
