I think my highlights are the good sessions I’m having with really talented people from all around the world.

Essntial: Tell us a little about your music and the direction of your sound?

My sound is a mixture of a lot of my influences.
I think it’s mainly a mixture of house and pop music.
But I really don’t want to be defined by one genre,  my freedom of having my own artist project is doing what ever I feel in the moment.

Essntial: Where are you based and why do you live there?

I lived in Berlin for 9 years and I’m still there very often to work on new music but I moved back recently with my family to my hometown, Stuttgart.
We are building a new studio there with some friends in the heart of the city.

Essntial: What are your musical aims for 2023? Any upcoming releases?

I have a release coming very soon and I’m working on some collaborations right now to put out throughout this year. Watch out for them !

Essntial: And what has been the highlight so far in your career? Maybe one of the live shows?

I think my highlights are the good sessions I’m having with really talented people from all around the world.

Essntial: What Is the one instrument/plugin you can’t live without?

Serum of course and I love soundtoys but to be honest it’s not about the plugins. It’s about the workflow and the ideas.

Essntial: Who are your ones to watch in 2023?

In the moment I’m building with some partners, a new studio complex  in Stuttgart, Germany. We have big plans for the future, so I’d definitely say the group of people are my ones to watch.
