"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music".   Gustav Mahler 

A young boy, who never was meant to make up his own mind, broke out of his shell. Not a person who thought about standing on a stage. A little bit unknown  that one boy wanted to show people what he could do. It all started in the younger years at the age of 3, playing popular and simple tunes on the piano at home. Later on, the will came up to take some lessons and at the age of 6 the drum-lessons became a standard routine until "the switch" found it’s place in his life. The boy we talk about was me.
That "switch" had to deal with some heavily, emotional and personal happenings, which took years and long stories with it. My father educated me how to actually believe in some sort of standards. But the fact that those standards were close-minded, made me actually push off those standards. When I was 15 the suicidal death of my father made me different, made me more open-minded. At the same time I needed to impersonate my personal emotions, and I felt the unnatural duty to get the best out of the piano, maybe because my dad was a pianist too. So that made me more focus on the piano, when the need to drum faded away. Because I especially could get away from my aggressions on the drums, I had to deal with other feelings like anger, fear, doubt feelings, sorrow, and happiness. I found the best way to unload those feelings into lyrics and especially arrangements on the piano. Because of the fact that I learned my piano-skills all by myself with a slight slow and natural tempo, I actually never felt the need to take any lessons.   At the same time I started to record songs with my webcam-mic. By the time I could offer better hard- and software, I was making complete tracks with music-software and sound-samples, all played in with my keyboard. Later on I teached myself how to use all the skills I have, “put it into a box”, to make even greater and better tracks with complete arrangements for drums, bass, guitar, keys, vocals/rap, strings, brass and lots of more sounds and effects.  The standard routine became a frequent arranged practice and live-play on stage with several bands, and spending long nights at the loft making tracks by myself. That shaped the dream of being an artist on stage and at the same time a composer and producer for studio-arrangements.  The will to want to spend the rest of my life with music, increased my focus on that one thing I need, I want, I love, and live for. Later on I made the decision to go to a school that could help me getting more into the scene, and make me a professional musician in an extraordinarily honest way, like I want it. This school which is named by the Rockacademy, offers me more fundamental progress and chances in the business.
