As a songwriter, Markus is the pulse of Echoes of the Dark. Characterised by his love towards music and his flair for lyrics and language, he gives free rein to his imagination. His great love of music and his musical creativity have accompanied Markus from an early age. He learnt to play the drums in an orchestra when he was around 8 years old. At the age of 15, he bought his first synthesiser and programmed his first instrumental songs. Around the turn of the millennium, Markus gained band experience in various formations. Since their dissolution, Markus has been composing and arranging songs in various projects and sound directions in his home studio. Samira is the youngest voice of "Echoes of the Dark". Singing has been a basic need for Samira from an early age, so she joined a children's choir at the age of four, where she remained for almost ten years. Samira also began taking singing lessons and writing her own songs. Samira says that music is her innermost emotional world and that she cannot imagine life without singing. Her soulful and young voice is a valuable addition to the new rock project "visitors" by "Echoes of the Dark".
