Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember staying at my aunts house and Bohemian Rhapsody came on the radio. I hid behind the couch being frightened of the angry opera voices. I didn't understand a word, but I felt the anger. Since then music was always about the story to me.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jóhann Jóhannsson, Orphée Keith Jarrett, The Köln Concert (Live) Live Oscar Peterson, Night Train The first two albums I carry around my whole life and to this date I keep playing them. Jóhannsson is obviously much later but the impact was just as great as the other ones. Each album tells a different story I like to hear over and over again.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “She's Perfect” In this track I recreated the exact feeling I got when I first looked into my newborn daughter's eyes. It's the most personal piece of music I ever did.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? As for my recording carreer, the portofino Variations was a highlight. Apart from my own version,I also did a SRO version, produced one for Geert Chartrou, Eva Auad, and Davide Rossi. And I got to remaster on of the versions by Raymond Scott.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I always said I would do at least 3 albums for the Schnauzer Radio Orchestra, and now with a Fender Rhodes Solo Album released I have some idea where to go next. I have lots of stories to tell :-)
