Stephan Kondert is probably better known as SK, a producer, composer, bass player and the founder of SK Invitational. He started the music project in 2006 when he gathered the solid core of his musician friends on stage. A large stage since that group consists of altogether 16 people. SK experimented with Drum and Bass, Dancehall, and Hip-Hop beats to work out different ways to present the full range of the big band sound. The first album, “SK Invitational”, was released in 2007 and got attention for it´s originality.
