Alfonx

Hi! I am Albert Benkert aka Alfonx and i am very happy you're just reading my bio :) I was born in the 70s, living in Germany and i was always into music. I learned hammond-organ but was more interested in mixing snippets from many songs/sampling audio (my roots are in HipHop/oldschool rap). I soon realized that I couldn't publish my previous mixes officially because I didn't own the copyright for the samples. This led me to the conclusion that I had to write and publish complete songs by myself. In the last years i began to focused on learning music theory. I wrote my first melodies, chords and began to learn how to produce music. I finally released music in the genres of pop, dance, house and techno (techno: see soundcloud). I'm a child of the 70s - so my music may be influenced by these artists: - The Hollies - ABBA, Donna Summer, Boney M., ... - New Order, Visage, Eurythmics, DM, ... - Phil Collins, Robert Palmer, Kim Wilde, Blondie, Valerie Dore, Alphaville, Yazoo, Camouflage, ... - Sandra, Snap!, Adamski, Faithless, Massive Attack, ... - Garbage, Dubstar, Saint Etienne, Dido, ... - The beastie boys, Public Enemy, RUN D.M.C. ... - Westbam, Commander Tom, everything from the Love Parade era.... - Meiko, Dido, Missy Higgins, Jem, Lenka, ...
