I knew, you would take a look at the ‘About-Page’. 

I appreciate your interest very much.

So i consider you want to know a little more about the guy behind the John K. B. MUSiC Project. Well, here you are:

My name is Jens Krause from Berlin, Germany. I was born here and never left – yes; home is where the heart is, right?

I am now 38 years old, i love BBQ, walking on the beach an watch the sun go down…. Pls feel free to leave a comment, if you want to merry me now 😛

I came across music when i was a child. When i was a little boy i had a little organ at home, which i really liked a lot. In the age of 13 i got my first keyboard – a Yamaha psr-48 which i owned until 2022.

I had some Keyboard-Lessons when i was 13 or 14 but never practised a lot (today i must say: unfortunately!) so i never reached a Pro-like Level. Luckily i learned enough to play at least chordprogressions and melodies.

My very first track i had recordet on two tapes. On the first tape i recorded my second Keyboard which i got when i was 15/16 Years old an did the first layer. Then i Playbacked that tape and routet it in a way i could record a second layer and so on. When i was 16 Years old i got my hands on an arrangement – and sample-based daw from eJay which i used to produce my first full album. No i never plublished it 😀 Then when i was in the end 20s i finally could buy the Magix Music Maker Production Suite MX, which was quiet nice for me for a while. I finally could mess around with a few VSTs, learned a lot about arrangement and workflow but unfortunately i was never really seduced by the end products sounding because the engine of that daw combined with mostly free VSTs was not the best combination so i never released one track.

For the next 10 years life just happened and i lost a bit of my excitement about making music because i never had the money to buy expensive solid gear and Software. Luckily that changed a bit in 2017 so i finally got a job. So Yes, sometimes there is light at the end of a dark road – but i dont regret anything – hard times form us to our really selfes and can help us develop new ways to live life. 

Long story short: I found back my music mojo and enjoy every second of producing it – finally with solid software and plugins/Instruments! My inspiration is the cosmos. I am always amazed by the beauty and the terrifying dangers of raw powers it consists of. For i believe in god it is an absolute favour just to sit there and stare at such a beautiful and magneficant creation which leaves me speechless sometimes.

I just can’t wait to see your reactions on my releases and i very much hope, that the passion i laid into every single track can cause you to feel better and inspired!

Thank’s a lot for your interest in my little story of life here 🙂

God Bless you and have a great day!
