ABOUT ME
I admire all kinds of music and have developed an especially strong bond to the metal genre. Been anxious several times but I have always managed to use anxiety as motivation to adapt to new situations. A habit that has carried over to my work ethos for which I am known. While I am hungry for new experiences I am also saturated enough to be able to produce high quality work on a constant level – as my dedication and passion for music is only matched by my professionalism. With a broad spectrum of cultural influences, my musical horizon provides a flexible base for active contribution in the process of creation. While speaking of being flexible: I am able and willing to pack up my equipment and meet you in your studio anywhere in the world if you share the same passion as I do. I am very social and love to embrace people. Since I believe that respect and friendliness are the pillars of humanity I often find myself surrounded by gentle personalities. We are all touring and playing in the same world – why not do it together, friend?
