Ulrich Hellenbrand Mainz, Germany

For the creation of the booklet and the website of the tribute CD we kindly ask you to also submit a little "bio"
Okay, let's start writing a bio ...

- Who are you?
I'm Ulrich Hellenbrand, 30 years old *sigh*

- Where do you live?
Born and raised (and still living) in Mainz, Germany. All fools come to Mainz when it's the right time. Someone said, a fool is a man who doesn't care. So, if someone calls me a fool ... I don't care.

- What was your first CdeB Song?
Well, there was a song called "Lady In Red", I heard it on the radio and ... blah blah blah ... I think nearly everybody knows this story ...

- What was your first CdeB album?
I joined a local band in 1988 (as a keyboarder, fortunately not as a singer ...). We wanted to write our own material, but everybody had a different musical taste. So we decided that every band member should listen to each other's ten favourite albums. One of them was "Far Beyond These Castle Walls". I liked it. In 1989, I bought my first album ("Spark To A Flame").

- Why did you chose your song?
Last year, Diana told me that there were quite a lot of female singers and a whole bunch of ballads in the contest. The next day I was listening to the "This Way Up"-Album ... that's all.
