André Seidel - Drummer
has the longest Berlin experience of the Mo' Blower's. He was born there in 1981, learned the drums and while he went to school he already worked with various Big Bands. Amoung these there where the JayJayBeCe Orchestra and the Berlin Youth Jazz Orchestra. In the summer of 2003 he started his studies at the University of Arts in Berlin. After a while he started to come up with interesting and fairly unique drum styles. In between he is an expert in everything groovy, funky, fusion like, electric or dancy. That made him become the drummer of Mr. M, Berlin-Bahia, RatzeFatz, Mundoloco or Das gezeichnete Ich.

During a very stimulating stay in South America in 2001 Felix Falk began playing a number of indigenous percussion instruments which he incorporates more and more in his music.

His main project is the jazz funk band "Mo' Blow". He founded this group in 2002 in Liverpool (GB). The compositions he wrote for the first CD of this band he let himself inspire by the impressions of his time in England.
