WORLD5
“POP ROCK WITH A GLOBAL INFLUENCE”
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.
 
Texans Pat Hunt and Randy Miller, who produced the bands 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. And so, the current World5 lineup is once again complete.
Pat Hunt, Randy Miller, and Joe Gavito have played and worked together as musicians, songwriters and producers for 30 years in the music business.
 
Pat Hunt has opened for acts such as Al Jarreau, The Pointer Sisters, Patti Labelle, The Temptations, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, The Spinners, George Jones and many more. Pat has also produced CD's for the American country icon Mickey Gilley of Urban Cowboy fame as well as reggae legend Johnny Nash. Pat was a finalist on the original Star Search.
He has co-written songs for Jennifer Holliday "I Never Thought I'd Fall In Love Again", "After She's Gone" for Mickey Gilley, and with Randy "Con Todo El Corazon" for the Grammy winning double platinum, international group La Mafia. Pat has played and arranged on 5 Grammy nominated CD's and won a Grammy.

Randy Miller made his name as a producer for the Latin´s Super Group La Mafia, producing 4 Grammy Award winning albums and getting 16 Grammy nominations along the way. His client list includes Marc Anthony, Kings X, Destiny's Child, Goldie Hawn, Burt Bacharach and Laura C. Singer-songwriter Johnny Nash hired Randy to remix the classic 'I Can See Clearly Now' and is continuing to work on several new albums with him.
