In the end, only Tramp stayed in the States, found himself a great writing partner in Bratta and eventually found his way to the top of the charts. Later on, the band moved towards hard rock with their music, and in 1981 they changed their name to The Studs and relocated to the States. They even took part in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1978 with a truly hideous song called "Boom Boom". The Danish-born Tramp (real name: Michael Trempenau, born Jan 14, 1961) had already experienced some success with Mabel, a pop band that was popular in Denmark and Spain. White Lion were formed in 1983 in New York City by guitarist Vito Bratta and vocalist Mike Tramp.
