Hi everybody!
I'm glad you found your way to my page. I am more or less constantly working on music. Half German and half Danish I was born in Germany, where I grew up as well. I now live in Autria. I play the guitar and I sing. Most of the time I write and record my songs on my own, but I as well enjoy any kinds of enriching collaborations! That's why you should always feel free to let me know of your ideas, if you like to work with me. I am curious. Music makes me curious. And I am convinced that - if capable, soulful, passionate and hard working artists meet and work together, beautiful music can be created!
I am thankful for any of your comments, likes and shares!
Music may not be everything, but it is definately way high on top of everything for me, my soundtrack to life, my way to myself and out of me to other people.
Thanks for listening and appreciating what I do!

To Music
Music: breath of statues. Maybe:
silence of pictures. You language, where all language
ends. You time
that stands vertically on the route of mortal hearts.
Feelings for whom? O you of feelings
transformation into what? -: into audible landscape.
You stranger: music. You grown out of us
space of heart. Innermost part of us,
that, surpassing us, pushes forward outside, -
holy goodbye:
as we're surrounded by inside,
as our most practiced distance, as the other
side of the air:
pure,
giant,
no longer habitable.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Munich 1918

"Your passion is what you do, no matter what. No matter how much money you make, no matter how many people say you can't do it. You do it anyway, because it's your passion. It's part of your DNA. It's like an addiction. It's the reason that you can't wait to get up in the morning (...). Follow your gut, follow your heart and follow your intuition. This is your story and nobody can write it, but you."
Kenny Garret, Boston 2011
