Born into a family of musicians, I was immersed in music from the earliest moments of my life. When I began teaching myself guitar at the age of 15, autodidactic learning became a crucial aspect of my musical development, a philosophy I have carried over to my composing and orchestration later on. For several years, I was mentored by Robin Hoffmann, who not only taught me about music and the orchestra as a body of sound but also as a group of unique individuals with distinct needs, desires, and artistic intentions.
Growing up listening to a wide range of genres such as metal, rock, hip hop, and jazz provided me with valuable insights into different musical worlds that continue to influence my orchestral work today. It wasn't until my early twenties that I discovered my passion for orchestral music, which has since become a steadily growing constant in my life.
My work has been performed by several orchestras such as the Jena Philharmonics, German Pops Orchestra, Staatskapelle Halle, Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes, Bavarian Philharmonics, Baden-Baden Philharmonics, and Sorbian National Ensemble.
Between 2016 and 2017, I composed music for video games such as Unreal Tournament (Epic Games), Hover Cubes X (Gametology), and Banished. Additionally, I worked as an arranger on various projects and completed my first album, "We're Going on an Adventure." After 2017, I shifted my focus towards creating more concert music rather than video game music.
In early 2018, I arranged "Die Beste Nacht – Kontra K”, a collaboration between Das Ding and Baden-Baden Events that brought together orchestra and rap music. During the summer of 2018, my composition “Kheer Tal” was premiered by the Baden-Baden Philharmonics. “Kheer Tal” is a suite for Morin Khuur (Horsehead Fiddle), Tuvan throat singing, and orchestra dedicated to my friend Enkhjargal Dandarvaanchig.
In early 2019, I was commissioned to compose the music for "Sagennacht 2019," an annual play organized by Sorbische National-Ensemble GmbH. The commission involved creating 60 minutes of music for a small orchestra and choir. In June of the same year, my composition "Cherry Blossom Dance" premiered in Baden-Baden with the Baden-Baden Philharmonics. I also arranged works by Brahms for the Pianistenclub München's concert featuring Franzisco Araiza. Later that year, The White Messengers was performed by the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes and conductor Toshiyuki Shimada in its US premiere in New York.
In early 2021, "East West Symphony Hiwar" was released, featuring Masaa and the Jena Philharmonics. The recording has been nominated for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik in the categories of "Crossover" and "World Music," as well as receiving nominations for the Opus Klassik 2021.
In 2022, two major orchestral works were premiered: "Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra", a four-part piece for solo violin and orchestra, and "Der Hirschsprung", a symphonic poem depicting the legend of the Deerjump in the Black Forest. Additionally, two pieces for piano quartet debuted in the same year: "Is It 5?" and "From A Place Of Gloom". Alongside my original compositions, arrangements I created for Händelfestspiele and Filmmusiktage Sachsen-Anhalt were performed by the German Pops Orchestra and Staatskapelle Halle.
In 2023, in collaboration with the Baden-Baden Philharmonics, "Overture To Nothing" was premiered. Additionally, my symphonic piece "Emerged From Nothingness", which explores the developments after World War II, had its world premiere with the same orchestra during a concert celebrating French-German friendship in France.
In the first quarter of the following year, "The Ignition" was premiered by Landesjugendorchester Sachsen under the baton of conductor Judith Kubitz as part of two concerts held in Leipzig and Pirna.
