Born in Berlin to parents from different parts of the world, I feel home wthin myself, no matter where I am.

I currently live between the rugged beauty of Portugal and the vibrant pulse of Berlin. My music is for seekers and wanderers, for free spirits and travelers. I like the infinite field of possibilities that music is and I refuse to limit my music to just one genre. I love simple folk songs with a bit of a southern twang. I also love partly electronic downtempo mixed with acoustic instruments, seasoned with oriental spices. I write lyrics about my spiritual journey but also enjoy telling stories of my physical one.

I try to embrace truth—the light and the shadows. I believe freedom comes not from escape but from acceptance. My songs are invitations to travel with me, to explore the depths of our shared humanity, and to walk the path toward authenticity.

new single/new video

om namah shivaya

With the release of my fourth single Om Namah Shivaya - a meditative journey that fuses tribal, shamanic drumming with powerful Sanskrit mantras - I have connected the dots between my travels to India, my journey to my true Self and my profession as the drummer for German artist Nena. The mantra I have written - “Divine grace I surrender, Holiness I remember you, Divinity I remember, Holiness I surrender to”—invites listeners to let go of the ego and embrace divine energy. Repeated throughout the song, the mantras Om Shanti and Om Namah Shivaya not only evoke peace and transformation but also serve as a constant reminder of the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit. I always wanted to record a song that's build around drums and I finally get to express fully on as well global percussion as one of the drumsets my endorser Dixon Drums has build for me.

Amado

All Songs of 2024 & 2025

These are all the songs I produced during my transition phase of 2024/2025. I have named those 10 jewels “AMADO”, named after one of my favorite beaches the name of which also translates into "beloved". A place where I spent much time  in between my creative process, reaching out for my muses to inspire me, opening my heart towards the universe to receive its gift.

I started writing and recording Amado in Lanzarote. When I got on the boat back to the mainland I thought the process was finished. Once I moved my studio into my wooden house here in Southwest Portugal my muses rained down a few more colors to add to the painting. 

I hope you can relate to the words and I hope the music speaks to you. 

Much Love To You
