Career
As a young musician, Wally Warning played in the bands of Sam & Dave and Lightnin 'Hopkins before moving to Europe at the age of 17 .

After they split up in 1981, he formed his own funk rock band with the name Tax with guitarist Wesley Plass and drummer Eberhard Wilhelm , with whom he also released an album.
But after two years this band episode ended and Warning released his first solo album in 1983 with the title Promises . He then concentrated on songwriting for almost ten years and wrote disco songs, among other things. It wasn't until 1994 that he finished his own album called Love Can Save Us . Since then he has continued to release albums regularly and is on the road as a musician and often seen at festivals.
Wally Warning achieved greater notoriety in 2007 when it had a summer radio hit called No Monkey . At the end of July, the song made it into the German and Swiss single charts.
