Technically and from the workflow he is one of the best producers I've every know. Regarding his workflow in film scoring and production as well as techniques in business, I really admire him and his knowledges. On the other hand Mr. John Williams - one of the "godfathers" of film music - is inspiring me on every single musical note. His knowledge about music and motion is phenomenal and legendary, in my opinion. All these great musicians are well known for their own signature, as well as transparency into film scoring.

A: It all began, as I was 8 years in 2001, to take classical piano lessons. It was the first time, that I got familiar with the sound of the classical music. Over the years I get familiar with different classical composers, especially with Johann Sebastian Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn.During this time I learned lots of techniques and fast side reading and also the love to the classical church organ. Then parallel to the classical piano, in 2005 I began to take lessons by an organist where I got chances to perform in concerts. From 2007 till 2013 I experienced working with an musical ensemble where I also discovered later first interest in music for film scoring. Now I am 25 years old composer for classical orchestral film music as well as for classical autonomous music and I am specialised to combine elements of the orient and the occident into a classical symphonic orchestra sound. I am doing composing and producing now since 4 years. Over this time, I could collect a lot of experience in practical areas, as well as working with clients.

I really like the transition from the different kind of elements from the orient and the occident that creates interesting vibes and emotions. It actually also depends on the clients desires, what kind of music the client wants.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: One of my strongest skills is composing world music with classical elements and combinations of orient and the occident elements. Also I am strong in composing for classical church organ, choir, and arrangements for strings or piano, as well as the knowledge for audio and motion related to a film.
