MUSICIAN/COMPOSER, TRANSLATOR, DESIGNER

Gereon is on the run. Currently the youngest member of the Typeface team is wanted by the Jazz-Police for having performed illegally funky polyrhythms. His hair-raising escape drove him out of his home country, Germany, and he spent several months in France, Canada and Peru, allowing almost fluency in French, English and Spanish. Also, his travels inspired him to incorporate elements of local music into his own repertoire, equipping him with a large vocabulary of musical expressions. He has handled design work, creative classes for socially challenged children and continues to build an incredible skill-set with a hugely inspirational personality and an ‘anything can be achieved’ attitude.
