John describes Vanilla Moon as

"World / Ethno" music.
A vibrant blend of African, Indian and
European rhythms, melodies and voices - skillfully combined with
Blues licks and Lounge music.
An exciting, original sound which truly shares with the listener his vast knowledge and depth of understanding of World Music.
The music was co-written by Axel Kowollik
and Catharina von Liel (lyrics); with
John H. Schiessler playing all of the instruments, programming and
singing all vocals.
Recorded and mixed at his own studio,
Dejohn Studio, in Munich, Germany - and mastered by Bobby Altvater at Sky Studio, Munich, for Sky Productions in 2009.
