Marius Westernhagen was innate on December 6, 1948. His fatherhood, Hans Müller Westernhagen, was an worker, and guided pres Young Marius toward a life in theatrical performance. When his fatherhood died at the age of 44, Marius was still in his early teens and well on his way of life to a successful film vocation. His number 1 preference of public recognition came with the 1979 moving picture Theo Gegen den Rest der Welt. His part as a disgruntled truck driver brought him to the public's attention, which he used as a catalyst to ramp up upon what had previously been only modest musical pursuits -- he had played beat guitar and mouth harp and sung dynasty in groups around his native Düsseldorf, only his recordings and alive performances only high-minded him to the spirit level of a minor cultus figure. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Pfefferminz Bin Ich Dein Prinz, Westernhagen's debut, built upon his silver screen success, and went gold later trey years on the grocery store. Two more records followed: Sekt Oder Selters (1980) and Stinker (1981). Throughout the '80s, Westernhagen's popularity continued to work up steam end-to-end the European rock scene. His rapid-fire releases, nearly one a year for the adjacent various years, unbroken fans interested and opened doors for regular touring. The manufacture is not wide-cut of "slow and steady" success stories, just on that point are exceptions. Westernhagen, better than deuce decades after his transcription debut, hit Billboard's European Top century in 2005 with Nahaufnahme.
