Otto Fuchs

Otto Fuchs was born on May 13th, 1978 in Mariazell, Styria / Austria. He discovered a deep passion for rock & roll, while being in his early teens. Just a meagre fourteen years old, he became the youngest writer for the German "Rock & Roll music magazine". From 2000 - 2004 he hosted The Rocket 88 Show for KRKT 99.1 FM Rock It Radio, Ventura / California. Numerous interviews with 1950s Rock & Roll Legends such as Billy Lee Riley, Marvin Rainwater, Gene Vincent Blue Cap Drummer Dickie "Be Bop" Harrell, Bill Haley´s Comets members Marshall Lytle, Joey Welz and Bill Turner are led & recorded by Fuchs for this show ... During that period he also placed various articles in the German "Dynamite - The World Of Rock & Roll" magazine.

In 2005 he started to contribute reviews and interviews for German jive, swing & rockabilly magazine "Slam Bam". Bob Timmers of the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame recruited him as columnist for the Tennessee based Rockabilly Hall Of Fame. While Otto Fuchs continued to write in German for the Stompin´ News magazine, the column for the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame was the first medium which required him to write in his second language English. During a trip to his former home, London (he lived there from 1997 - 1999), Otto Fuchs met John Howard. Soon the two men came to the agreement that UK Rock , whose editor John Howard was then, would publish Otto Fuchs´ work as well. As February 9th 2011 marked the 30th year of the death of Bill Haley, the book "Bill Haley - Father of Rock & Roll" was to contribute to having Bill Haley´s legacy live on. His newest book are two books, with an in-depth report on overlooked facts and myths on the lifes and times of Elvis Presley. Otto Martin Fuchs lives in London.
