Biography
Showing the Discogs bio
German composer, conductor, producer and songwriter. Born on 22 November 1940 in Berlin into an artists' family, his sister is Maria Duval.
After an acting career in theater (1952-1958), tried his hand as an actor in films and musicals (1959-1965), as well as producing short films (1965-1968).
He worked in the broadcast industry on soundtracks and musicals since 1965, but it was not until 1977 that he found his true calling: writing and producing musical scores to TV series, for example Derrick, Der Alte, Unsere schönsten Jahre, Tatort, Polizeiinspektion 1.
His wife Kalina Maloyer contributed her vocals and writing to many of the releases. He was married with Karin Hübner.
