Who is Hans?
I am a singer-guitarist and entertainer.
Every chanson, every song, every tune is a story in itself.
In fact, I’m a musical storyteller!

I have over 40 years of experience with various genres of music, including jazz, Dixieland, and dinner music, as well as party music at large weddings and celebrations.

From a very young age, I’ve also been deeply involved with romantic ballads, close harmony, cabaret, and theater.
And singing… I’ve been doing that my whole life!
I’m a true nostalgic troubadour!
(“Maybe I was born too late…”)!
You could certainly say that performing and entertaining are in my blood, and I still do this with great passion and joy!
