Music

I wrote my first song when I was 13, and over the past 25 years, my passion for the guitar has never stopped. During this time, I performed on stages in Germany, Switzerland, Croatia, the US, and the UK with bands and as a solo artist.

 

In 2024, I released my latest album "Hope" with six indie rock and folk songs. If you like Dave Matthews, John Mayer, or Paul Simon, this album is for you.

I am playing live regularly around Germany, check out the concert recap from my album release show below!

Influences

Spotify really violently tries to force sad songwriters from the American Midwest down my ears.  Actually, I enjoy Paul Simon and James Taylor. If you listen to my songs closely, you will be able to hear hints of John Mayer and Dave Matthews. And yes, I also belong to the "top 0.1% of Bryan Adams fans" in my year-in-review... but I guess that’s because most OG Bryan Adams fans can’t figure out streaming.

 

On the contemporary side, please check out Bahamas, Beatenberg, Madison Cunningham, Jacob Collier, Bombay Bicycle Club and The 1975. Kinda eclectic but still mainstream enough to work for a dinner playlist.

I spend a lot of time in introspection – mine or that of my coaching clients – and my lyrics reflect just that. For the 2024 singles, I have written about the challenges and complexities of growing up in today's fast-paced world, touching on themes of love, growth, and the search for identity. Really just the stuff you’d struggle while if you’re trying to figure out if you have lost your shit or if the world has become absolutely crazy.
