This band emerged from a musical production and recorded 2 CDs during its existence, which were also played on local radio stations. There were also various live gigs. In the 2000s, Olli played semi-professionally in top 40 bands at various events throughout northern Germany.
After a short break, Olli decided to be creative and musically active again and is now creating a new dimension with his keyboard sounds at papergrass.
Olli is a keyboard player for whom the different sounds are very important in order to give the music new colors. It is important to him to serve the song and to create interesting melodic spheres.
He is inspired by many different role models such as Marillion, Saga, Ghost, Mystery, Arena, Dream Theater and also classics like Genesis and Pink Floyd, to name a few.
