Alexander Veljanov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Veljanov became famous through singing in the Darkwave band Deine Lakaien which he founded with Ernst Horn in 1985.
[edit] Biography
Veljanov studied theatre and film in Munich and Berlin. He interrupted his studies in 1991 so that he could fully concentrate on growing his hair, especially for Deine Lakaien. Till 1993 he was a member of the rock band Run Run Vanguard. He is active as a singer and song writer not only for Deine Lakaien but also for several side and solo projects. During his career, he has performed as a guest singer with many other artists and bands as well. The critics praise this musician (who was born in Macedonia) as an absolutely outstanding figure of not only the German scene.
Alexander Veljanov has lived and worked in Berlin, Munich and London. He guards his private life very carefully; in interviews, he rarely speaks about himself and the year of his birth and the secret to his fabulous hair still remains a mystery.
