ABOUT

From Psychedelic Rock to LoFi Pop, from live shows to workshops, from the Alps to Windhoek. I am shaped and inspired by constant movement, the tension between flow and structure, and above all the question: How can I postively impact the big picture? I always carry this principle with me, whether as a bass player, songwriter, band-coach or initiator of OSTAR Music Network - an initiative that promotes international exchange and education of creatives.

Coachings & Workshops

In addition to studying music, I have studied M.A. Music & Creative Industries at the Popakademie until 2018. Besides my artistic activities, I have accompanied artists such as Kochkraft durch KMA, Kirchner HochTief or Little Venice in realizing their artistic vision until 2019. Based on these experiences, OSTAR Music Network was born in 2020. An initiative that has since supported over 200 creatives and was a.o. funded by Austwärtiges Amt, Stiftung EVZ, Fonds Soziokultur.

Furthermore, I have already worked as a lecturer and coach for a.o.:
