Biography

Brüx was born in Sonsbeck (North Rhine-Westphalia). Until 1985 he went to school (Städtisches Stiftsgymnasium Xanten).[https://web.archive.org/web/20101103000333/http://stayfriends.t-online.de/Schule/Xanten/Gymnasium/Staedtisches-Stiftsgymnasium-Xanten-S-TPX-S gymnasium Xanten] Following his talent in music, he early began taking piano lessons and later he graduated at a music conservatoire.

Brüx was composing for several interpreters such as:

Bro'Sis: whose first album Never Forget (Where You Come From), which Brüx took part in, has been released to the public in January 2002, scored in Germany platinum.
No Angels: the album Pure where he took part in, rose to No. 1 in the German album charts and No. 3 and No. 9 in Austria and Switzerland.

He wrote music for several films (also industry and corporate videos):

TKKG – Der Club der Detektive was nominated in 2007 for the attendance at the German children media festival Goldener Spatz.

Already in the youth his sensitivity showed up in relation to its environment. His large respect for nature particularly to results in his touching underwater video "Niklas' Theme".

Today Brüx is working and living in Hamburg, Germany, where he in his studio besides music even with the visual arts (painting, sculpture) engaged.
