I started my music career in the 1990s as a drummer in various renowned German bands. In 2000, I began studying composition and arrangement in Amsterdam and working as a composer and music producer. In 2011, I founded my own music production company together with other composers and producers, with studios in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Hamburg. In 2014, I joined forces with a Dutch partner to form the VAN SONIC Sound Collective. Supported by a large network of international composers and producers, the company now successfully creates score compositions and songs for the German and Dutch film and television industry.
