Hi, I'm Marcos Franke. I am a journalist by profission and passion. My professional career started as a translator because I am very skilled with languages. My mother tongue is German and I have always studied in a bilingual school. English came with my passion for music and writing. I have always loved writing and love to talk about music-related topics. Translation came with this passion. I worked for almost 20 years in the technology business area, which was very important to develop my corporate knowledge, but in parallel I have always worked as a freelance journalist covering shows, events and interviews related to the musical world and also a little of the geek universe. I have worked as a journalist on more than 100 shows. Some that I highlight are: Iron Maiden Slayer Motörhead Lollapalooza Festival Monsters of Rock Festival Maximus Festival Metallica Linkin Park Ozzy Osborne Dio Rammstein Some bands I interviewed: Rammstein Accept Pitty Deep Purple Roger Waters Amon Amarth Sabaton Epica
