Volkan Maydar (Vocals, Percussion)

Music has always been a part of him. He sang before he could even speak. This did not go unnoticed by his parents, who always tried to give him and his brother Tayfun as much as possible. As a teenager in the 80s, he got his first four-track recorder so he could record his first own songs – inspired by soul greats such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Terence Trent D’Arby.

At the age of 20, he met his Orange Blue partner Vince Bahrdt through an advert and the rest is history: after a trip to the Stage School Hamburg, studying acting in New York and his first leading role in the musical “Pico”, his big breakthrough finally came in 2000 with Orange Blue. He has always followed his musical roots.
