Musician by Heart

Music wouldn’t be the same without silence...

Since you landed on my about page, I guess you already had the chance to gather a few fragments about me. Ever since I was a child I always had a special attention for music, but I started digging into it during the last years of high-school.

I taught guitar, double-bass and banjo mainly by myself, then took some lessons privately and at the NAM Music Academy in Milano, Italy.
I explored many different genres throughout my career, like indie-folk, pop, jazz, bluegrass and old-time.

Recently my most favorite genre is gypsy jazz, but you can also meet me at bluegrass and folk gatherings, performing pop music on the stage or playing the double bass as part of a band here in Munich.

…And yes, my hair was always curly
as you can see, I took after my father.

And no, I don’t take requests for Wonderwall
(well… maybe, if you have a good reason).

And yes, I started with the guitar at a very young age
- big sorry not sorry to my family.

Gigs

I’ve been playing on stage since 2020, in different locations and settings.
Being based in Germany, I played gigs as one-man-band and with other people too.
You can find me playing in Munich or at some private and company events.
With my band Funkenflug we have quite a few gigs planned - be sure to check them out!
