Guest Biography:

Lou Evans from 

U.S. pop-rock band WORLD5

 
Bio 👇
 

WORLD5 started with five close friends who were professional musicians. Although life and personal projects put them in different locations around the globe, they kept alive the desires of making music together. Realizing that very long distances separate them physically but not musically, they used the power of the World Wide Web to shorten the physical distance. They recorded their first album "Global Experience" over 3 continents together, founding members were Raimund Breitfeld, Steffen Goeres, Don Bruner, Stephan Goessl and Roland Childs.

Grammy Award winners Pat Hunt and Randy Miller, who produced the band's first album, joined the band replacing Don Bruner and Roland Childs december 2012. June 2013 brought the departure of saxophonist Stephan Goessl and the arrival of Texan guitarist Joe Gavito.  2016, Album Nr.2, "Heartbeat Of The World" was released on Spectra Music Group. 

WORLD5 has a new line up. Joining Raimund, Steffen and Joe are Swedish bass player, Jimmy Olsson and as the lead singer from San Francisco, California, Lou Evans. Jimmy has performed with some of the most popular groups in Sweden, such as Nynningen, Nationalteatern and Björn Afzelius Band. Lou has been showcased with outstanding talents such as LeAnn Rimes, Lorrie Morgan, America, Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Waylon Payne, James McCartney (Son of Paul McCartney), Todd Rundgren, Gregory Page, Billy Galewood (aka Bushwalla, co-songwriter of Jason Mraz), Toca Rivera (Jason Mraz percussionist/background vocalist), and Con Brio.

Lou Evans is a singer/songwriter based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  He played professional baseball in the Miami Marlins Minor League system from 2001-2005. In 2005, he decided to pursue his burgeoning music career. An American Idol Season 4 contestant, lately Lou has been performing and writing new music.

Lou has been showcased with outstanding talents such as LeAnn Rimes, Lorrie Morgan, America, Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Waylon Payne, James McCartney (Son of Paul McCartney), Todd Rundgren, Gregory Page, Billy Galewood (aka Bushwalla, co-songwriter of Jason Mraz), Toca Rivera (Jason Mraz percussionist/background vocalist), and Con Brio.

The past few years he has been given some great opportunities to shine by singing the National Anthem at a San Francisco Giants game and a Golden State Warriors game. When he sings, heads turn. WORLD´s latest asset as the lead singer and as songwriter.

Joe is a proud, 9th generation Texan, and has been a professional guitarist for almost 40 years.

Starting out his musical life in San Antonio, Texas as a drummer all the way through college, guitar decidedly became his weapon of choice after being fired as the drummer and then rehired, as the lead guitarist when the band he was playing with heard him play guitar one night, during a rehearsal break. His fate was then secured. After touring with showbands in the 70's and 80's, he landed up back in Houston when he started playing with the band “Mason Dixon”.

This led to countless studio sessions at Mickey Gilley's studio. In 1991, after a 3-year stint in Nashville, working as a freelance musician and working for Gibson Guitars, Joe moved back to Texas to start a family. By 1995, Digital recording became a welcomed reality for this home studio enthusiast, and Randy Miller became his “go to” recording Guru. So now, the circuit was complete.

In addition to producing the band and contributing electric guitars to WORLD5, Joe is producing Frank Martin Gilligan, and performs as a single artist in Southeast Texas.

Growing up in Bavaria, Germany, Steffen’s initial musical influence came from his mother who was an opera singer. Encouraging her children to learn the piano, Steffen quickly became interested in many other instruments, including the trumpet. At the age of 11, he picked up the guitar and hasn’t put it down since. While his older brother discovered rock and brought an electric guitar home, Steffen was attracted to the jazz and funk music of the 70’s. It was that time - in his hometown of Deggendorf - when Steffen formed a jazz funk band with Raimund Breitfeld and Stephan Goessl of WORLD5. The band played their own compositions, won competitions and was a local sensation.

Steffen went on to study classical guitar and trumpet at the Richard Strauss Conservatorium in Munich, following that up with a year’s study in jazz guitar in Los Angeles. As a typical Student - broke - Steffen returned to Germany. His obvious skill on the guitar was quickly seized upon by many musicians, and he played everything from classical concerts to studio sessions to band gigs and tours in Europe. While playing in bands in Austria, Steffen met his wife-to-be from New Zealand. A couple of years later, they settled in Wellington, New Zealand, where he established himself as a professional musician.

Steffen also inspires hundreds of students through his teaching at secondary schools. Steffen released his solo CD - “A Dozen One Afternoon” - an album of 12 original compositions played on the nylon string guitar. Steffen’s professionalism and musical talents are indisputable, combining harmonic sounds, catchy melodies and smooth grooves. With his skills and experience delivering a quality listening experience to many musical genres, a call from his friend Raimund, to invite him to play for WORLD5, reintroduced him to pop music.

Jimmy Olsson´s musical journey started in the late 50´s playing Mandolin. This led to formally studying Cello and performing in a youth orchestra until the age of 16. As he grew, so did his musical prowess as it expanded to include the Bass guitar. In 1967, he joined a Blues/Soul band as a Bass player, and he's been working in the Music business ever since. In the 70´s, he was playing with some of the most popular groups in Sweden, such as Nynningen, Nationalteatern and Björn Afzelius Band.

In 1980 he formed a sound company, with an old friend and fellow musician. He has worked as a FOH sound engineer and tour manager with some of the leading acts in Sweden. He continues in that business still today.

In the 90´s he brought his knowledge and expertise to the Gothenburg City Theatre, producing both plays and musical theatre.
By 2000, he was teaching music, math, and audio-visual arts. He continues making a difference as a freelance musician in Sweden, playing with and producing multiple upcoming Swedish artists, and now, taking over the Bass guitar duties in WORLD5. 

At the age of four Raimund Breitfeld decided to help his mother, a concert pianist, by operating the pedals of the Steinway as she played. It didn´t take long for her to decide that it might be better for him to operate the keyboard instead of the pedals and he received his first piano lessons. Most of the radio stations didn't play classical music though, so for Raimund it was Pop and Rock music. This inspired him to make his own guitar.

One day while his parents left the house for some hours, Raimund grabbed his father's violin. He did a little cutting with a saw and added some frets ... and Raimund's first guitar was born. Raimund's first pocket money came and a brand-new electric guitar was unavoidable. Shortly after blowing up his grandparent's radio in an attempt to amplify his new guitar Raimund received a real amplifier as well.

During his high school days Raimund and his good friend Steffen Goeres performed together in several Rock and Pop bands. Steffen's skills on the guitar were so advanced that he was already doing solo concerts as a teenager. Steffen was so dedicated that he literally slept with his guitar. Raimund couldn´t keep up with Steffen on guitar and since there were very few drummers in their small town and their skills were moderate Raimund found his calling behind the drums. Drum lessons, music academy and the college of music followed, and he ended up with a degree as a drummer and music teacher.

Crossing paths and playing together over the years in different bands Raimund and his friends, guitarist Joe Gavito, guitarist Steffen Goeres along with Jimmy Olsson and Lou Evans have joined together from all around the world to create the music of WORLD5

Unique Book Reveals How To Improve What You Say & How to Listen – Even When No Words Are Spoken!

Best-seller writer Dr. Stephen Furlich discusses the effect of nonverbal communication in others, the important role it can play at work, in a relationship, family and in every aspect of our personal and professional lives.

Do you ever wonder why you didn’t get the job or a promotion after an interview – or why a business phone call seemed to go so much better than an in-person meeting? When you are on a date or trying to convey a message to a friend, how do you ensure they are fully receiving your intentions correctly?

It may come down not just to what you say – but what is communicated beyond words. A unique book, Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication by Dr. Stephen A. Furlich, provides well-researched answers to these questions and reveals the subtle nonverbal behaviors that often go unnoticed but contribute heavily to the impression one makes.

“The interconnectedness between biology and nonverbal communication is explored deeply here,” says Dr. Furlich, whose prior book was a best-seller, Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages.

Readers will learn how to better notice and understand other people’s nonverbal behaviors. They will also learn how to better communicate with their nonverbal behaviors. From teens to senior citizens, anyone can learn to improve their personal and professional nonverbal communication skills. Some areas covered are gestures, facial expressions, vocal changes, colors, and measurement proportions to mention a few areas.

Guest Biography:

My guest is GRAHAM GORI who channels a non-human intelligence who is one of the creators of the human genome. Graham began as a journalist working in Havana as a translator for Fidel Castro at Cuba's largest newspaper, Granma. He was then hired by The New York Times in Mexico and later became the Associated Press's foreign correspondent in Bolivia during a time of social upheaval when Bolivia's Indigenous leaders rose to power. While covering a story about global warming in Peru, he was introduced to the Q'ero Indians, protectors of ancient shamanic wisdom. The Q'ero, who hid high in the Andes to escape the Spanish Inquisition, descended the mountains after nearly 400 years to share their teachings. Graham spent seven years learning their practices and became an initiate after receiving The Rite of the Womb. He then connected with a creator-being who revealed a transformative message for humanity. As a direct transmission, Graham’s first book, “Electric Ape,” is a collection transmitted from the creator being. "Electric Ape" is a guide outlining steps for humanity to move consciousness across timelines and undergo a metamorphosis into beings existing in anti-time. The book explains how humanity's "junk" DNA can activate dimensional shifts when Earth's magnetic field changes. Graham's work offers profound insights into Earth's current upheavals and humanity's evolutionary potential.

When he was twenty-five, Dimitri had a profound spiritual awakening that changed his life. About a year later, he met Barbara at a dinner party and knew that night Barbara was the spiritual teacher he had to study with.

Barbara trained Dimitri in metaphysics as well as getting him involved in her spiritual mission. Following the mystery school lineage tradition, Barbara saw in him the person who was meant to help her bring the Kingdom of Light Teachings to the world and lead the spiritual mission beyond her tenure. Dimitri realized this was his spiritual purpose and redirected his life’s work to pursue the path of metaphysics.

Years later, Barbara and Dimitri broke new ground with the publication of Change Your Aura Change Your Life, first in a series of mystical writings. This led to their founding Spiritual Arts Institute and Dimitri becoming a spiritual teacher. At first supporting the encyclopedic wisdom of Barbara, now through his own spiritual connection, Dimitri is an illumined teacher contributing new inspiration to the spiritual wisdom in books, workshops and course materials.

Hi! My name is Katie. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia then spent time living in Nashville and Los Angeles, and am now based in Sun Valley, Idaho. My mom says I started humming in the car before I could even talk, so using my voice has come naturally to me forever.

I moved to Nashville in 2014 to attend Belmont University for Songwriting. During that time, I placed as a finalist in the ASCAP Writers Showcase and released my first EP, placed as a finalist in the 2016 American Songwriting Awards with my song "Painted Hearts", and played Unify Fest in 2016 with Trevor Hall and Mike Love.

More recently, my song “Honey” with The Motel Brothers just hit 17 million streams on Spotify.

A few years ago I went viral for my videos of me singing to farm animals. I started posting them to share how animals react to music, and in the process discovered that millions of people also found joy in those moments. Animals have always been my second passion and so to combine my two loves in this way has been so fun.

Currently, I live in Sun Valley, Idaho, playing music at the Sun Valley Ski Resort twice weekly. I’m working on my second album, expected summer 2024, and can’t wait to share my new music!
