Specialized in working on projects with real orchestras, I have more than 20 years of experience.

I have worked on film scores for many international productions, including the Golden Globe 2024 nominee Suzume, Star Wars Visions, Save Angel Hope, Tell, A War Within, and Liebling, lass uns scheiden. I co-composed the multi-award-winning musical Dällebach Kari, (co-)arranged the hit shows The One and Vivid at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin, and worked on highly successful game music scores such as Batman – Arkham Shadow, Lineage W, Anno 1404, Black Prophecy, and Halo Legends. My scores for Treasure Trackers, Hero and A Father’s Job have won several awards around the world.

Besides my work in media, I also write music for several international artists, including Chaka Khan, Anastacia, Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, Bonnie Tyler, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the London Symphony Orchestra, and others. I won a Golden Record for my arrangements for Alex Christensen.

I hold a diploma in composition, arrangement, and piano from the music university in Dresden, Germany.
