When I presented my own choreography to “Music” by John Miles during an Event on the market place in Freudenstadt, something really changed. Thank you, Ariane. A lucky string of doors opened. Besides becoming an actor in a theatre (that I am still writing music for), I had singing lessons. I won a few first prices in the national competition “Jugend musiziert” and other competitions.

Sadly puberty k̶i̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ evolved my voice, so I had to quit singing for a while. That’s how I first met the guy named “Piano”. He is a great friend in every situation and helps when it comes to composition. I already composed for the accordeon earlier on, but together with “Piano” I discovered something called “singer-songwriter”.

When I was invited to a competition for young composers and a professional string quartett played my piece, I was overwhelmed by the idea of music. For me giving emotions a different expression than thoughts and actions, was (and still is) one of the greatest things on earth. I loved when people liked my music for any reason, because I wanted to reach them with the same feelings that I experienced.

I wrote a lot for solo piano, then for ensembles and small orchestra. Singing got practical again and also church organ was another instrument to go, since I got lessons.
