Bobby Wallisch Jr.

BOBBY WALLISCH JR. Musician, Sailor, Writer, Philologist. I was born under a blazing orange sun in 1966 in Vienna (Austria) from a long haired mom, who painted each room in a different colour, and a just and loving dad, who taught me to stick to dreams. It was the year when Jimi Hendrix went to London and the Starship Enterprise started its voyage through time and space. I remember the first step on the moon and grew up in the hope of once being a part of that groovy new world. But with the new millennium an overall culture of fear emerged in the western world and the gorgeous colours of the 60s, 70s and 80s turned into shades of grey. And I wanted to bring those colours back. Growing up bilingual (German and Italian) in Vienna, I studied Ancient Greek and Latin and learned meditation from a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Loving all things related to the sea, I started sailing and wrote some books about historic travels and discoveries. At the same time I worked as a senior lecturer for Neo-Latin studies at the University of Vienna. In 2013 after dramatic events in my personal life I started my music project. I felt it was time to give back a few things I had so generously enjoyed in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I created a music channel on YouTube and founded my band "Acid.Prof". And so I'm trying to bring "those colours" back. Spreading Greek and Indian philosophy through my lyrics. Making music that frees the heart. youtube.com/@BobbyWallisch acidprof.bandcamp.com
