That is me working all the time!BIOFabian was born in Switzerland in 1969, the year of Woodstock. After completion of the regular school he took 2 years of college level and 1 year of university level at the teachers college in the historic city of Solothurn.

During Fabians later school years he played in a postmodern punk band together with his brother Stefan. The Unerstlichen recorded two vinyl discs and a CD and was well recognized in the European underground music scene.
