Urs, today one of the most busy producers/songwriters in
Switzerland, has been playing piano since he was four years old. With five years he started playing Boogie Woogie on his Dad's harpsichord. Then he also picked up the drums while starting to take piano lessons. At the age of eleven he started jamming around in local Jazz Clubs, forming his first Trio with thirteen. By the time he was fourteen he was invited to tour with the Swiss Radio Big-Band as a special guest. While continuing playing with several bands his interests shifted more and more to recording and producing music. Among many others, Quincy Jones, David Foster, Robbie Buchanan and Jeff Lorber were his main influences.His passion and strenght lies in writing/producing "West Coast Main Stream Pop-Music" influenced by R&B and Jazz. At this time his own
FAST PEAK RECORDING STUDIO is located in his hometown Zurich/Switzerland, but he keeps on travelling in Europe and to California.He recorded his first album in 1986 and since then has been working and producing with several artists and musicians like Jeff Lorber, Warren Hill, Robbie Buchanan, Warren Wiebe, D.J. Bobo and many more.
