this is me

For me music is not limited to writing songs, composing and instrumentalizing. There are so many rails: implement cover pictures, shooting canvas, social media, music marketing, performances & interactions with the people while singing and not at least this website, of course. The longer I’m with music the more possibilities I see. All this leads to an enormous progress, I see myself growing in all areas. I look back and see where I started. I look forward and see possibilities everywhere. Here is no stagnation, no purposeless working ’til it’s done. Everything is changing forwards, all rails at the same time! Isn’t it fascinating? I wind up this music like a music box and if there is something I want, I do everything until I get it.

Where I am now is the result of a process and the journey still goes on. Started with the joy for singing, I began to write lyrics about my experiences with life and people & what I felt in different situations. Moments I lived through – the wanted ones as well as the ones I was pushed in without an exit. Rarely I built an exit by myself, if possible. My song texts include all of it, even tiny steps of my journey.

With the lyrics the melody comes and this is when I see songs coming to live for the first time. Finding suitable chords is fun. With this I create facets and additions feeling placed in the right spot. Playing the new song several times, sometimes I already find rhythms that match.

The next big creative step is imagining how the song could sound with some more instruments, so that means a lot of time sitting in front of my computer creating and trying sounds and how to arrange them into something great. I am grateful and sometimes wonder that I’m able to do all this on my own. Well, at least I know it’s not a power that grew out of nowhere or flew to me and that’s it. All I can say is, my start was in 1998 with all lows and highs that life gives us. My story still continues.

On Instagram in my highlights I talk about a lot of little things about me and my life. The posts are all about my music and the topics that belong to it. And to all of you who want to accompany my channel, sometimes there are stories of mine containing mixed things from my everyday life. I’m quite active on the platform and I look forward to seeing you!
