Chris Huelsbeck

Known as: Hülsi

Chris Huelsbeck was born 1968 in Kassel/Germany. He found himself dedicated to music at a very young age and started some piano lessons. At 14 he got his first computer, the legendary Commodore 64 were he started to learn programming. Some years later he won the first price in a computer-music contest in a famous german computer magazin. This was the beginning of his career as a professional composer for computer- and videogame soundtracks. Since 12 years he has written music for over 70 software titles incl. the latest title "Star Wars Rogue Squadron" for Nintendo 64 and PC...
