I was born in 1987 in Detmold, Germany, and fell in love with the piano at age ten. That early passion followed me through studies in music theory and composition at the Johannes Brahms Schule in Detmold, and later at the Detmold Conservatory along with Gallo-Roman studies at the University of Paderborn and Toulouse. I have written film scores and choreographic works, including a multi-part dance suite for the Lippische Sportgala in 2011 at the Lipperlandhalle, and I create folkloristic compositions for Trio Estate (founded in 2011). My first suite was Shalom aleihem. In 2016 I worked as a pianist for AIDA Cruises and since then I have pursued music teaching, composing and music supervising. In autumn 2021 I scored the German features Aprilttage and A uf der Straße nach Caen by Valentin Hilker. I have since explored lounge/ambient and folkloristic ethnic traditions, with a growing passion for Brazilian rhythms, blending orchestral textures with hybrids of synths and live instruments to craft cinematic soundscapes.
