musical present
handpan music
On my handpan I create intuitive ancient trance sounds that will let you dream away at your spiritual event or intimate private concert. There are irregular live streams on Instagram & YouTube.
sound healings
With various percussion, melody and sound instruments such as the Ocean Drum, Kalimba, Handpan or singing bowl, I support you on your path to healing with sound healings in online/offline events, retreats, workshops and healing circles.
singing & drumming circles
I will play music with you for your deep connection in my or your singing and drumming circles. I hereby warmly invite you to experience the power of the voice, rhythm and drumming in a group live with me. Dates on request.
percussionist
As a percussionist, I can accompany you and your acoustic group spontaneously at street festivals, concerts or during recordings in the studio. I play my cajon and playfully use shakers, sizzle boards, cowbells, chimes, etc.
my music history
street music
As a street musician, I tour Europe again and again to play street music solo and together with other artists I meet along the way, and to play for money in pedestrian zones, in parks or at tourist attractions.
drummer
With a microphone, a pair of drumsticks and a drum kit I can get started! I play the drums intuitively and use my energy to quickly groove into almost any new project (sorry, but I'm not a cover musician who plays by sheet music).
band project
For over a decade I was part of the 4-person band project Supermarkt 2000, which I founded, where I played drums and sang banking vocals. There I also coordinated our social media, videos, marketing & performances.
festivals
Whether with my own band, solo on my handpan or as rhythm accompaniment for your music group, I play at open air events and festivals all over the world. You can see me next at the 3rd Worpswede Art Festival.
musical future
stage program
I am writing my first own stage program in which I combine musical elements with my own story of getting out of the rat race to encourage you to realize your own dreams.
song lyrics writing
Since I am passionate about writing lyrics and poems, I would also like to write song lyrics in the future and have already been asked to do so. So if you have a project that you would like my support with, then write to me.
drum & handpan lessons
I've been playing drums and percussion for over 20 years now, and I'd like to pass on this great passion and sense of rhythm to the next generation. So if you feel like getting into the groove with me, get in touch.
early musical education and contact in old age
Instruments like handpan and drums are perfect for playing intuitively and discovering your own sense of rhythm. They enable a deep emotional connection without words. I play in kindergartens and retirement homes.
my story
Even as a small boy, I used the pot drawer in my mum's kitchen to build myself a drum kit and drum on the pots with wooden spoons. Later, I used my favourite aunt's children's suitcase set as a drum kit, but my dream of becoming a musician still failed to come true because of my mother's beliefs: "Where do you want to play?" and "You need a band!" she said. It wasn't until I was 24 that I bought myself a drum kit, built myself a recording studio out of chipboard in my parent's basement and started teaching myself to play the drums. Six months later, I started taking lessons at Munich's most renowned drum school, where I met the drummers from P!nk, the Scorpions and Simple Minds and joined my first band projects. The second project was successful, but destroyed itself after just one performance due to their own debriefing. From this I founded my first own band project, played several gigs in Munich and away and recorded two EPs in the studio. But it remained a hobby and it was only when, as part of my personal development, I broke away from the old beliefs that music was a dead-end art where you couldn't make a living from - then everything began to change.
I quit my job, broke up with the band, started traveling, letting go of everything that no longer served me to live my dreams, and consistently followed my inner voice, which paved the way for me back to music. Today, in August 2023, I'm sitting in the Burger King Hannover with my backpack that I'm currently living out of and my handpan to play street music here, create this website and disprove the old beliefs. This weekend, after only 4 weeks with the new instrument, I have my first paid festival gig, which I got without any effort. Suddenly, lots of musician friends are gathering around me, I travel around the country with them, meet them at festivals and create new formats such as sound healings, drumm circles or get requests as a percussionist or for music lessons. Energy flows where attention goes.
When will you start to realize your dreams and finally take good care of yourself instead of others?
It was only when I started to heal my trauma wounds instead of trying to solve my problems the same way they had arisen that everything in my life changed. And it changed sustainably and with much more ease. I got to know MYSELF and was able to stop fighting. If you would like to be inspired by me on your own path and enriched by my experience, then you have come to the right place.
