Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I enjoy most about my job is the opportunity to collaborate with a wide variety of people, create music (of course), and discover new places while doing all that.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I primarily work across all kinds of pop music.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style blends organic and electronic elements to create a unique sound that complements the music. I focus on crafting textures and sound design that bring emotional depth to the track. I adapt to the needs of the project while still adding my own individual style, regardless of the genre.

A: A Prophet, an acoustic piano, some headphones and a computer with an audio interface to record.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started making music as a kid, taking piano lessons when I was 6. When I was 14, I joined my first band, which got me into improvisation and playing non-classical music. In 2008, I began studying pop music in Mannheim, where I connected with many people in the industry and started working as a full-time musician. In 2017, I became a member of "Grosch's Eleven," the band for "Sing meinen Song," one of the most successful music TV shows in Germany, which remains one of my most important jobs each year. I spend most of the year touring with various artists, and I also try to do as much studio work as possible.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: When I was younger, my biggest inspirations were artists like Björk, Massive Attack, and Radiohead. Today, I’m inspired by artists like Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, Fred again.., Moderat, SBTRKT, and Ólafur Arnalds.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: We live in a digital world and I like to use all its benefits but I still love analog things, especially when it comes to sound. So the answer should be both!

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Revised: I work in my own small studio, recording with Ableton Live and Logic Pro. My setup features a range of analog and digital hardware synths, keyboards, along with VST instruments and effects. For acoustic recordings, like piano, I have a small selection of high-quality microphones.
