Geboren 2003 hatte ich 11 Jahre Trompeten-, 4 Jahre Fagott-, 3 Jahre Klavier- und seit 2021 bis heute Orgelunterricht. Komponieren ist seit einigen Jahren ein weiteres Hobby, was es vorerst auch bleiben wird. Wann ich meine ersten stümperhaften Stücke geschrieben habe, weiß ich nicht mehr genau, es dürfte ungefähr 2015 gewesen sein, als ich 12 Jahre alt war. Als gläubiger Katholik soll meine Musik ein Lobpreis Gottes sein. Dementsprechend werden die Inhalte der meisten Texte sein, die ich vertone oder selber schreibe.
Inspiriert werde ich von Johann Sebastian Bach, Two Steps From Hell, Antti Martikainen, Audiomachine, Atom Music Audio...

I was born in 2003. Since 2011 I had for 11 years trumpet-lessons, since 2018 for 4 years bassoon-lessons, since 2019 for 3 years piano-lessons and since 2021 organ-lessons. For some years I compose as a hobby and a hobby it may be for some years. When I actually started I do not know. That might has been in 2015 when I was 12 years old. I am Catholic and so my music shall be worshipping God. Accordingly will be the most texts which I set to music or write by my own.
I get my Inspirations by Johann Sebastian Bach, Two Steps From Hell, Antti Martikainen, Audiomachine, Atom Music Audio...

I make epic soundtrack music mixed with ethnic, folk, medieval and electronic instruments for some very unique sounding stuff. My music is usually very melodic, rhythmic and simple yet very diverse.  I absorb my artistic inspirations mainly from video game and movie soundtracks. Some good examples include Future World Music, Two Steps From Hell, Koji Kondo, Jeremy Soule, John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Remember to share this page with your friends if you enjoy the music! And even if you don't.
