Daniel Wirtz, born in 1979, decided to learn guitar at the age of ten. On his instrument as well as in numerous compositions he combines elements of Jazz, classical and traditional music.

Rainer Stegmann was born in Mainhausen-Mainflingen near Aschaffenburg, Germany, and began playing the guitar as a 12-year-old. In his youth he concentrated on Rock and Jazz as well as classical music, but after completing his secondary schooling dedicated himself completely to classical guitar. He studied in Frankfurt am Main at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst and at Dr.-Hoch´s Konservatorium. He was especially influenced by participation in master classes given by the Assad Duo and Manuel Barrueco.
