GOOD LUCK RECORDINGS

In 2006,  17-year-old Adele wrote to Jool on Myspace: “I love your weird style” after she discovered his profile picture, which showed him as transgender naked only with gold cowboy boots and female breasts..  Almost at the same time Alannah Myles left a feedback on his webpage: “Total entertainment!” Also John Mc Laughlin recognized his special talent with: “Great music.”

With his ideas and innovations, Jool inspires a wide variety of genres and generations over the decades as an underground star, mostly subtly and subconsciously, because he avoids the media. That’s why there are almost no interviews or press releases about him on the Internet. He is primarily active in the background. which has also changed in the meantime since 2005, and so you can find some satirical posts from him on Instagram and other social media platforms over the past years.
But his outward appearance has always been very present and provocative.
He is some kind of the gender fluid pioneer of a new generation, which perhaps describes him quite well.
A whole series of artists and people might felt inspired by his appearance which you can clearly see in the people in question, like his music, who is equally extravagant and innovative, as well as extremely diverse in genres, but has remained more of a background presence. Many of his songs are featured in TV reports and film, meaning Jool’s music was already present in the media on a daily basis 20 years ago. But most people don’t even know which songs are by the glam rocker. This may also be a reason why some artists do not even know that they were inspired by Jool.
Here is a funny little anecdote with an artist , who was once quite obviously and directly inspired by Jool.  Anthony Kiedis, who adapted Jools unique haircut 1:1 back in the years, after a clash at an after-show party with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Hamburg.
You might  describe Jool as a secret agent among rock stars.
This may also be due to the fact that Jool never maintained close ties with the press and promotion. A German journalist once described Jool as the ultimate underground star, writing: Cool, cooler, Jool! during the time when he was very visible to the public.

Jool has worked with various artists and colleagues and has been involved in some  international chart successes.
He lent his guitar riffs to remixes and also inspired DJ artists such as Robin Schulz or Purple Disco Machine, who once played at a Jool event. Jool has performed live spectacular shows with Howard Donald , Mousse T, Alle Farben, Spencer Parker, Moonbootica, Timati, Plastic Funk amongst others.

This stemmed from his idea when he invented a new show concept early 2000s in which he improvised with guitar and voice to house & electro DJ sets and created new songs live in front of the audience. He spontaneously remixed well-known classics at parties around the world, inspiring new styles in the process and composed new songs in front of the party crowd. His typical rock & dance style continued to develop during this time and is one of his trademarks.

He became a resident artist for MTV and Red Bull in a time before social media became a hype.
His androgynous clothing style also continually gives new impulses to fashion trends and inspires different artists and industries.
For a long time, gold leggings, a cowboy hat, sunglasses day and night, and unique beard creations made up the appearance of a science fiction rocker. Nail polish and high heels are also part of his unmistakable style.
Jool has never displayed his penchant for extravagance in a populist way, but always in a satirical way, underlined his authenticity and always placed his mission for freedom and peace at the center. Unobtrusive, without artificial hype, he has been giving fans worldwide great joy ever since as an independent artist. And yes, Jool is an original who also dresses in private, as he does on stage.

He has been singing slipping into a wide variety of voices mostly with a satirical edge site since early age. You can hear it including very entertainingly on his debut album, Jool’s Diary.
His songs have been used in further successful TV series and films such as Scream a little Dream -Lost Girl or Sherlock -The empty hearse, Justice League. His comedic talent is particularly evident here, which ultimately led him to join the Helge Schneider Band in 2023. There he picked up the electric bass and became the touring bassist for Helges “Der letzte Torero” tour.
