About

My interest in music started early, but for a long time I chose music over academic studies. After graduating from university and working as a journalist, I was offered an interview to join The Radio Dept., a band I admired. I started playing keyboards with them, which led to album releases, appearances in blockbuster films and international tours.

Making music is my greatest source of joy and inspiration, and it is when I am creating music that I feel most alive. Becoming a composer was a great liberation for me. I write music for others and don't have to be in the spotlight. My music is part of something bigger – film, image, or message – where it enhances or gives new dimensions. I love the variety: one day dance music, the next day something for orchestra, indie, ambient or even mello. Music is my passion in all its forms.
