My name is Volker Bertelmann, I release my solo records under the name Hauschka and i live in Dusseldorf /Germany. I was born in a small village in the center of Germany called Ferndorf, after that I lived in Cologne and moved to Dusseldorf in 1990.

I started my first band in the age of 14 and then I released my first full length album in 1994 with my band 'God's favorite Dog'. I was singing and writing the songs. After quitting the band in 1996 I started all sorts of different electronic projects.

To name a few:

Nonex Music AM Tonetraeger

and here I am, playing mainly as Hauschka at the moment .
