HP Baxxter - popular German singer, musician, band leader Scooter. At the origins of the legendary team are Rick Jordan, Ferris Buhler and Jens Tele. In addition, the artist gave a little more than 5 years to the Celebrate the Nun group.
HP Baxxter childhood and youth
The artist's date of birth is March 16, 1964. He was born in the town of Lehr (Germany). The real name of the future idol of millions sounds like Peter Gerdes. According to the rocker, only his mother calls him that. During his school years, the chemistry teacher turned to the guy as H.P. The young man liked the shortened version of the name so much that he asks his entourage to call himself that way.
It is not difficult to guess that the main hobby of his childhood was music. He listened to compositions in which glam rock sounded distinctly. In his teenage years, he rubbed holes in Billy Idol's records. By the way, in the same period of time he forms a style. Baxter bleaches his hair to look like his idol.
Soon he picked up the microphone. Mom was genuinely surprised when her son sang. No inclinations to vocals were found in him in childhood. But it turned out that HP Baxxter is the owner of a pleasant baritone.
He thought about a career as a singer, and even wanted to enter a music school. When he voiced his desire to his parents, they did not support his son. Despite the fact that there were “equal” relations in the family, mother and father wanted their son to master a serious profession.
The guy succumbed to the persuasion of his parents. He entered an educational institution, choosing the Faculty of Law for himself. Baxter, over the years of study, tried several times to leave the educational institution. His parents stopped him just in time. In the end, he received a diploma. But the "crust" was not useful to him. He never worked a day in his profession.
The creative path of the artist HP Baxxter
The first team in which the musician showed himself was his own brainchild - Celebrate the Nun. In addition to Baxter himself, the line-up included musician Rick Jordan, drummer Slynn Thompson and Britt Maxim. The artist got the place of the main vocalist.
The team had the first fans. Moreover, the group's tracks hit the prestigious chart. Despite the development of the team and the recognition of the public, the group soon broke up. Later, the musician commented on the breakup of the team as follows: “I wanted a lot of money. My goal was to record commercial tracks. In the end, I just stopped getting high from what I was doing.”
The collapse of the team - gave reason to think and analyze the mistakes made. Baxter and Jordan soon became the "fathers" of the new project. The brainchild of the guys was called The Loop!. Soon the duo was diluted with Jens Tele and Ferris Buhler.
The guys performed at local events. The return of Baxter to the stage was very pleased with the fans. Soon the guys started performing under the new stage name Scooter. The project brought the artist worldwide fame and popularity.
In the mid-90s of the last century, the explosive single Hyper Hyper premiered. The piece of music instantly captivated the audience and became one of the band's most recognizable works.
New album in the group
A year later, the band's discography was replenished with the full-length LP …and the Beat Goes On!. On the wave of popularity, the musicians released several more collections, which eventually made the artists rich. Baxter's dream came true - he became a rich man, but at the same time, the artist received frantic pleasure from what he was doing.
Interestingly, during the entire existence of the team, the composition has changed countless times. Baxter - still remains true to his offspring.
In 1997, the musicians presented the “fans” with an equally outstanding single, Fire. Special attention deserves the fact that the presentation of the presented composition takes place with the use of pyrotechnics. The guys play this track on a burning guitar. Alas, this trick is impossible for the Russian audience due to the ban on the use of fire shows. The rest of the fans, which are scattered in different parts of the world, liked the stage number.
