When baby Heron was born in Thuringia in 1982, he was already sucking on the silver spoon of music: His grandfather played various instruments, his cousins played in rock bands, and as early as 1986, little Heron had already found his first musical obsession in Creedence Clearwater Revival.

In February 2008, his first three tracks were released on Minisome, his second ep followed in April. This second ep, “Retro”, was so very successful (being played by Richie Hawtin at Time Warp and other venues, by Damon Wild, Fabrizio Maurizi and various other artists), that DBH Music finally contacted him to re-release the tracks on vinyl.
