X-Perience biographyThe German dancepop group X-Perience includes singer Claudia Uhle and composers Mathias Uhle (born 17/3/1973, 1,86 m) and Alex Kaiser (born 7/4/1973, 1,80 m). Alex learned to play guitar at the age of 6, for the present he refuses to use it. Matthias tries to persuade him to, at least, bring the guitar to the concerts. Alex spends most of his sparetime calling friends and hanging around 'der Strippe' for hours. His favourite words are: 'I like to call you back'. Often Alex enjoys himself with the comedian-duo Badesalz. Matthias Uhle (keyboard, lyrics) loves so sit by his keyboard and make new genious sounds. Claudia and Alex describes Matthias as a hunter and collector. He always looking for new sounds and his apartment looks like a big magazine- and recordarchive. The group also includes Diana Käthne who is performing stage background vocals when X-Perience is performing live. Matthias and Alex were school mates and they established the band in 1995. Although they didn't have a contract with any record company, they decided to produce and make a single-CD entitled Circles Of Love, which was released as author's edition under the label World of Enigation. It became however, so popular (soon after the song was played on the Berlin-Branderburger radiostation Fritz, the song stormed into the top 5 charts, and stayed there for over 20 weeks) that X-Perience got a record deal with WEA Records.
