Trattnig grew up in Klagenfurt. His artistic talent was shown early on, both in music and in painting and drawing. He was a founding member and bassist of the Austrian indie rock band Naked Lunch , wrote the lyrics and designed the cover artwork for their first two albums. He also wrote texts for artists such as Ludwig Hirsch , Ulli Bäer , Stella Jones , Nika , Vienna Lusthouse and Alexander Bisenz . Since 1988 he has worked as a freelance writer.
