Wolfgang Blumel

and multi-instrumentalist known by the stage name blum.

He began his musical career as guitar player at the age of 14,

eventually touring Europe multiple times with international

number-one pop and rock acts. Having worked as studio and

live musician in Vienna in the 80‘s, he frequently contributed

guitar and vocal tracks to several top of the charts records

of the decade.

With the intention of taking an extended break from the

professional music scene, Wolfgang shifted his primary

residence to the United States in 1990, in order to pursue

other interests. in 1991 Wolfgang gladly accepted Tom Wasinger's

invitation to contribute an Austrian lullaby to his production of

"The World Sings Goodnight".

Wolfgang has come back writing songs for his first solo album blum

which is due to be released in fall/winter 2010.
