My way to become a professional musician has not been the most direct one. I grew up playing several Instruments, playing in bands, orchestras and singing in choirs. Finishing school I had to decide what to do next and I went down a different route, by choosing science. I started studying physics, which I finished 9 years later. During that time my love for music was reignited: I started leading a student choir, started arranging, got my first real recording equipment and first heard of virtual instruments.
I started writing music again. Starting to learn about orchestration, bought books, watched other people doing it.
With finishing my masters degree I started working in an industry job: First as a data scientist, later as a project manager for digitalization. But I continued using all my free time to work on music, took every opportunity to learn more. But it was never enough for me. I wanted to go even further. So I took the risk, applied for a masters degree in music and once I got in I quit my old job.
With a masters degree in music finished I can now focus on music full time, honing my craft and working with other great musicians and other creatives.
When I am not making music, you can find me at large tables, playing boardgames, mastering my pen & paper adventures or painting miniatures for tabletop games.
