HEAD OF
RADIO




Plugging your music into radios since 2008

Hello friend,

 

I am Thomas and I was born in a small town in the southwest of Germany in 1981.

After playing guitar in Rock bands for over 10 years, touring through Europe, I
found myself behind a desk in a small radio pr agency in Hamburg in 2008 sending
out new music to all radio people in the country.

 

I never stopped. :)

 

Before founding HOR I have worked for Public Music & Media

(former Public Propaganda), PIAS and Universal/Caroline which is now Virgin
Music.

 

My base is a 200m2 project space in the heart of Berlin. I have a lot of
space to work, create, play and celebrate the arts and music. - Swing by if
you're in town!



My mantra: less is more. I only support a handful of selected acts at the same
time.

 

Please check my references and the projects I’ve been

involved in to get an idea of my work!

 

I will be happy to answer all your questions. :)

 

cheers
Thomas
