Biography
[edit]Brüx was born in Sonsbeck (North Rhine-Westphalia). Until 1985 he went to school (Städtisches Stiftsgymnasium Xanten).[2] 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):
