Jürgen (alias JJ) is a German-born freelance bassist & lately also a composer and producer, living in Amsterdam (NL).
He had been in the past a semi-pro bassist and member of first, 2 bands from Stuttgart (D) and later again with 2 bands, but now from Amsterdam (NL). He performed often original & instrumental repertoire at various music cafes, clubs, cultural centers, small festivals & other venues. His most notable band involvement so far had been gigging for a while with the "JJC Helder Band", a A'dam based group around female singer Marlies Helder with o.a. guitarist Joop van Nimwegen (Ex-Q65/Livin' Blues) and drummer Pierre van der Linden (Ex- Brainbox/Focus) of a certain Dutch Rock Music legacy.
In 2003 he started to focus on composing, arranging, playing, recording & finally also producing own original and mainly his instrumental twists of various Funk-Latin-Jazz-Smooth-World Beat inspired styles and flavors. It's a "One-Man-Band" project so far and all music is done by himself (with his MIDI friends) at home. He self-released his (digital) album debut "Heartland" in 2005, followed by a 4-track EP-album as preview for his overdue new album "Moving On" in 2009...to be continued!
Furthermore, as a side project he joined in 2025 as bassist a new multi-culti band initiative in A'dam, entitled "The Boost Band" with about 15+ other musicians from various backgrounds & nationalities to work on and perform as well a kind of World Music repertoire.
