Biography of Michel Richter
Michel was born at the seaside of Travemünde, northern Germany. He raised in Switzerland's Luzern where his family had moved when he was 3, finding a beautiful lake there instead of the sea, water being always very important to the roots inside of him.
As a little boy he always listened to music his grandfather played in a magic radio music box, saying the words: "grandpa, records!" Music became his passion and although he never played an instrument except for a short (hated) obligatory flute period. He started collecting records having a collection of 1000 vinyl singles before even having an own record player... Putting the singles on his finger and spinnning them 'round he sang to the songs.
 In very early years aged 15 he started working as deejay for parties and after learning the profession of a travel agent and being tour guide by the by he was a D.J. in the clubs of central Switzerland for 8 years. Also organising live concerts of Swiss artist and starting to write for newspapers and magazines as music journalist. In 1978 Michel published an own book of poetry ("Wie ich denke und fühle").
In 1983 he was starting crew member of local radio "Sunshine" where he presented many music specials (Oldies named "Mottenkiste" more than 7 years and 100 emissions) and artist interviews from rock to pop meeting Paul there for the first time. Today he's still doing some broadcasts for other radios from time to time such as Christmas specials and speaking for "listening book" CD's.
Between 1985 and 1995 we worked freelancing for Swiss national DRS television reporting about sports in the studio as well as event "live" speaker specialising in Motocross races. In profession he always stayed in the music industry working for a mailorder company, later becoming A+R manager of record company K-tel.
In 1993 Pau1 and Michel joined a first time for the concept album "Lanzarote". He wrote English and German booklet lyrics and fairytales for the album. Following next were lyrics for Paul's first piano album "Downstream", that were presented live in concert, but remain unpublished so far.
1996 came "Mystic Island", again with English and German lyrics very well received. The album sold more than 50'000 units and went gold in Spain 1998. Other poetry and lyrics followed for German new age artist Elonia or Swiss musicians/bands such as Rään, Nico Brina, Bo Katzman and Chue Lee among others. Also he started deejaying again with his vinyl singles and presents his lyrics in Christmas church concerts with Gospel choir "Tabasso".
In 2005 Paul's music and Michel's lyrics take a new journey flowing softly on towards the listeners hearts in a "River Of Dreams". |
