Klaus's musical experience began at age 7 with piano lessons and school choir. On his 15th birthday he was given a guitar and he soon began to care about nothing else. His parents saw that he was serious player and they would often let him skip high school so he could practice. He attended Northern Illinois University and graduated with a degree in classical guitar performance. He was chosen out of an international audition to perform in masterclasses for classical guitar legend Manuel Barrueco at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, MD. He went to graduate school at Roosevelt University in Chicago but decided to drop out first semester and start playing gigs with a funk band. He used to perform in Gospel churches for several years, he has been a house guitar player for blues jams, he has played in original bands, and he has performed on many Major Label studio sessions.
