Bjørn BARock On the Making Of “Stell mir keine Fragen”

What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Stell mir keine Fragen?"

I played around with a synthesizer and came up with the theme at the beginning ... and then i came up with the story.

The story didn't happen in real life - at least not for me

Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for "Stell mir keine Fragen?"

This track was one of the first where i did everything on my own until the mixing and i tried different things with instruments and learned a lot more about pre-production.

What impact do you hope "Stell mir keine Fragen" will have on your audience?

Most of us woke up hangover once and this track is a friendly reminder what happens when it's too much.

It's just a fun song in the end. Like "Das Bier in Mir" from my first album.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?

I started to play drums when i was a kid and when i became 13, i started to play guitar and wrote my first song.

After that, i played in a band and wrote more songs but we stopped our band project and i moved to Switzerland and started to work.

Now, 18 years later i have a family and today i have the possibility to create music from home. I love what i am doing and my daughter was the reason for me to get my songs on Spotify back in 2020/2021. Then, more people started to like it and i released my first album 2021. Now 2 years later, the journey continues and this track is the second of my new album "Sturm aufs Paradies" - so more songs will follow soon.

I write my songs on my own, play guitar, drums, bass, keyboard and so on. I record everything at home and send it then to the producer from Powerplay Studios. They do the mixing ;-) I am always open to try new things and did already for this album.

Who are some of your biggest musical influences, and how have they impacted your own sound?

German punk rock bands, every sound i heard when i played Tony Hawks Pro Skater on my Playstation when i was a kid ... I am a 90's kid so Metal, Rock and Punk: always welcome :-)
My biggest influences as a musician came from Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, Meat Loaf and Jack Black. I also had a lot of friends who only listened to Hip-Hop and i also began to join them. Music has no limit. That's my opinion.

I was inspired all my life by several artists. And i will continue exploring and mixing genres.
