A magical world of freedom and vast horizons opened up for INGVAY when he first heard JJ Cale at home with his father. He couldn’t quite put this feeling into words – but he instantly knew: he wanted to be part of it.
His uncle, a blues guitarist, showed him the first riffs. From that moment on, the foundation was laid – those sounds became deeply engraved in his musical heart.
As a teenager, the road called him: playing at campfires in Spain, on beaches in Italy, while camping in France. Later, he toured Europe for years as a sound engineer – always searching for that very feeling only music could give him.
In his own studio and on tour, INGVAY has worked with major German artists such as Roger Cicero, Heinz Rudolf Kunze, Max Mutzke, Thomas D, Söhne Mannheims, Hannelore Elsner and Ulrich Tukur – as well as with international acts like Chilly Gonzales, Lizz Wright and Johnny Logan.
With his own songs, INGVAY tells stories of life “on the road” – a journey into the wide open that is at the same time a journey back to himself. Together with longtime musical companions, he continues to refine his style while staying true to his roots.
