Background:

1984 everything began with the first guitar given to him by his parents (because the drum kit was too loud in the house)In the same year he founded his first hard rock band Inverness together with Peter Breitenbach (Warhead) und Bjoern Eilen (Rebellion). 1989 he recorded his first Hard rock demo (Sea Of Green) professionally at Cottage Studio, Osnabrueck which was even mentioned in the local Osnabrueck paper comparing him to Yngwie Malmsteen. This was, according to Raimund Burke, totally exaggerated but nevertheless very nice.

1990 he took classes in Popular Music at Hochschule fuer Musik und darstellende Kunst, Hamburg, Germany

1991 The Band KING COCKROACH (Hardrock)

1992-1994 there was a little fusion rock band in Osnabrueck named Zumpf. Weird
name, weird, far out instrumental fusion music.

1994 Martelli (Hardrock), Hamburg, together with ex-Mydra singer Andre Martelli.

Also in 1994 a little tour with Markus Wolter, who opened for MichyReincke, both
unplugged.


2000 he finally bought himself a drum kit (his other passion) and applied it on
Into The Void – 2001 a cover band playing hard rock und heavy metal songs.

2005 he finished his first own instrumental CD Get It (which can be purchased
on this site).
Just before Christmas he creativley used his time to make a rocking Christmas
Maxi DC (Christmas in Rock) which is very unique.
2006 “Get It” got rave reviews from listeners and critics alike. The media praised the joy of playing, the ideas and the great songs on the CD. Meanwhile, in 2007, Raimund has contributed guitar soli on the Safkan debut album which will still be published in 2008.
There were also a couple of studio jobs that required some soli for a hardrock as well as for a yet unpublished country/rock project from Norway, which adapted a few hardrock classics.

Also in 2007 the production of the new CD “into My Arena” is underway full blast, recorded at the R&B home studio and mastered at Docmaklang Studio, Osnabrueck, Germany.
In December 2008, the new CD “Into My Arena” is released. Raimund was able to obtain quotes from some well-known music experts.
