His life and Music So Far
Born in the industrial metropole of Mannheim in Germany, Gagey Mrozeck first became noticed playing with regional bands in the late sixties including „2066 and then“ (a very progressive rock conglomerate) after which he joined the famous anglo-german rock band „Kin Ping Meh“ where he honed his songwriting craft.. At this time he also toured with the blues legend „Champion Jack Dupree“. Then followed stints with „Poker“ (a heavy metal outfit), „Trick 17“ (playing New German Wave Music) and Edo Zanki (a funk-soul band).
From 1980 until 1990 Gagey worked with the well-known German singer Herbert Grönemeyer. Co-producing, co-writing and playing guitar on the multi-platinum, albums „Bochum“, „Sprünge“,„Ö“ and „Luxus“. He was also a permanent member of Mr Grönemeyers band touring all over Europe and Canada.
Since then his work as producer, composer, studio guitarist and adviser for almost every major company in the recording industry have taken him all over the world and into widely varying sectors of pop music including Original Broadway Cast Musicals, Film work and even Ballet Productions.
He has also found time to produce and to mentor several bands (e.g.“The Flames“ and „Groove Guerillas“) in his „Mannheimer Studio G“ complex.
He also is engaged as a lecturer on pop-production and band projects at the Mannheim POP ACADEMIE since 2006.
His wide experience and technical knowledge as an electronic engineer has made him a sought-after consultant and development-adviser for several companies producing musical instruments and studio peripherals, amongst others Dynachord, Palmer, Höfner and Pirastro String manufactur.
Proof of his dedication to musical/technical education is the fact that he worked tirelessly to get the exhibition „Stromgitarren“ off the ground. This was displayed with great success at the Technical Museums in Berlin, Mannheim and Bern (Switzerland) over several years.
To call someone a workaholic is not always a compliment but in Gagey's case it is the only description for someone who lives and breathes music.
Mit dem Beat Boom der 1968er etablierte sich Gagey zur festen Größe in Deutschlands Rockgeschichte.
Als Live- und Studiogitarrist war er an zahlreichen genreprägenden Produktionen des Krautrock, Deutschrock,
Disco Soul Funk und der NDW unmittelbar beteiligt.
Mit zahlreichen Band- und Soloprojekten, u.a. Herbert Grönemeyer ist er seit den späten 60ern bei allen Major Labels vertreten.
Bis heute ist seine enorme Stilbandbreite sein persönliches Markenzeichen das er mit diversen Bands und deren zahlreichen Alben sowie als Studio Session Sideman und Producer seit den 70er Jahren unter Beweis stellte.
