U
lrich Stadter
was born in Karlsruhe, Black Forest, Southern Germany.
He started playing pianoforte at the age of seven. Both of his parents yet played the piano well.
After the basic school, he visited the musisches Gymnasium in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria.
Together with some school-friends, he founded a little music-band playing Beatles-songs and own compositions.
The young music-fan wasn't yet that interested in specialization for only one musical instrument. He loved studying acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, drums, pipe organ, bluesharp, brass instruments, Turkish saz, Indian surbahar, and the Western banjo as well.
Most of the times, the music-entertainer 'in spe' used to also sing along with playing those instruments.
His father once wrote into a photo-album besides the picture of some mandoline-of-his-grandfather-playing teenager: "Ulrich no musical instrument is secure of."
During the following years the young musician spent much of his free (or actually even not free) time rehearsing live-music in different music-formations which performed very different kinds of music, respectively
Dance-music, Mainstream Rock, Turkish music, Avantgarde-Pop, Rock'n Roll, both: Rhythm AND Blues, Hardrock, Softrock, Progressive Rock, Swing, Latin-Jazz, and Salsa.
In 1990, while some years "out of Rosenheim", the artist played his debut-gig as a payed-for solo-music-entertainer at some birthday-party, while earning his living mainly as a keyboardmusic-teacher at some private music school in Ludwigsburg, near Stuttgart.
From then on, the barpianist, singer and keyboarder played live-music at hundreds of events, such as birthdays, weddings, firm presentations, company-celebrations, sales-meetings, fairies, ...
... around Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Frankfurt, Augsburg, Rosenheim, Salzburg, St. Gallen, Zurich and many more.
The musician also often performed livemusic in some musicduo-formations, together with either a saxophon-player or a female singer. Still, most of his engagements he got as a solo-entertainer.
Ulrich Stadter's way of combining piano- and keyboard-entertainment with singing, and of lively playing several kinds of music which are mostly offered by three- or four-headed music-ensembles, can probably be spoken of as unique.
Enjoy it! ...
