I’m a music creator, producer, recording & mixing geek, songwriter, and marketing whiz. Most importantly, I’m here to transform your musical ideas into emotionally engaging products, that is a record that people will play over and over again. I love to create songs that get stuck in people’s brains forever - it’s what motivates and excites me every single day.

100% made in Germany, but trained in Los Angeles, I have been blessed to work with talented artists and renowned producers from all around the globe. But in 2014 I decided to say Goodbye to the California sun to build my own studio in Cologne, Germany.

My recording and mixing philosophy is a creative blend of old-school philosophy and new-school tech. Having been taught by great engineers and mentors including John Kurlander, Wes Dooley, Toby Wright, and Wolfgang Stach has helped me gain a deep understanding of what is really important in creating great music regardless of the genre.

Some artists just need to have a song mixed, others might need help with the writing process, or we work on a full-length album start to finish. It all depends on what the artist needs and how the project can benefit from my services best. With a degree in engineering and music, and work experience in marketing, I take a strategic approach offering solutions catered to your individual needs. With a wealth of incredibly talented people in my network, I can pull in additional resources when necessary. Collaboration is important and nobody can do everything equally well.

Sometimes you’ll see me host a recording workshop in Jakarta or give a presentation about music production in Berlin, because I love sharing some of the things I’ve learned from other people way smarter me. If I'm not in the studio, you'll find me spinning vinyl records in Berlin, drinking espresso in Melbourne, or scuba diving on Bali.

Ultimately though, this section should not be about me, but about you:
What is your story?
What are your goals?
How can we take your music to the next level?

I am curious to find out your answers, so contact me today!
