I was born on May 7, 1833 in Hamburg Germany. My family includes a mother and father, by the name of Johann Jakob and Christina Nissen Brahms. I also have a brother and sister that go by Elsie and Fritz. My mother was a seamstrist and father played in the militia band and court orchestra. Because music has always been apart of my life from an early age, composing symphonies or writing my own songs has come natural to me. nndb.com
