About

I am a versatile composer and multi-instrumentalist with an extensive body of work spanning classical, popular, and world music. I have released four albums of original music and was nominated for a Rotterdam Music Award. As a composer, I have created over 50 pieces, including orchestral symphonies and arrangements for traditional and contemporary ensembles.

As an educator, I have taught and led workshops at Codarts Rotterdam and Zwolle Conservatory, sharing my passion for music with students of all ages and levels. My multidisciplinary approach connects music with cultural identity and society, bridging diverse traditions through collaboration and cross-disciplinary performances.
