I'm a professional fingerstyle guitarist and composer based in Berlin, Germany,
with a specialization in acoustic guitar recordings, live performances, and collaborations with artists around the world.
My instrumental music is a blend of ambient moods and traditional finger-style guitar. Drawing inspiration from jazz, folk, and blues - I'm carving my own sonic identity that can be groovy with dense harmonies, fragile without being corny and buoyant and relaxed.
My new musical exploration, 'The time we spend,' encapsulates the idea of embracing the present and navigating life's diverse experiences. As a solo guitarist and father of three, I acknowledges the perpetual interplay of challenges and joys, urging us to respond to the ever-shifting moment.
Drawing inspiration from jazz, folk, and blues—echoing influences like Nils Frahm, Scofield, and Buck Meek, my instrumental guitar compositions offer a therapeutic journey for both creator and listener, encouraging us to explore the subtle threads within the emotional tapestry.
My latest album invites us to join his personal sonic expedition. The music serves as a guide through uncharted emotional territories, unveiling the profound beauty inherent in each fleeting moment.“
