THE GHOST (syn. for Spirit, Phantom, Genius) is to be understood as ‘a reflection of something past in the present, an appearance of the old that echoes through time and finally reveals itself in the present as something new entirely’.

It’s been a long time since the composer, music producer and renowned singer of Phenomen, made his first step into music. As he claims, “Music has always been something that I felt I’d had to do”, it’s not at all astonishing that today the impersonator of this artificial persona called “The Ghost” reached out to grab his chance and make a living out of what seems to be his calling. “Making the music from within my heart, but knowing that it’s probably not going to be suited for commercial use, makes it kind of hard to survive in the music industry. For so long now music’s being made only as a way of making money. It’s been degraded to suit no more than it’s economical purposes. Being aware of what music can do – making people happy, giving them hope and inspiration, being able to heal and to reach into the darkest places – it feels terrible when I see that it’s no longer welcome to do exactly that. That’s why I started to change things by making music count again!”

As for today and hopefully for many years to come that dramatic and yet versatile brand “THE GHOST” should stand as a symbol for a better cause; to make music special again, as well as to give a voice to the unheard and unseen musicians, so they will once again be able and equipped to call out and change things, inspire people, shape a society, or maybe even move the whole world.
