  BIOGRAPHY
The Story

I have always enjoyed singing. The first time I demonstrated my voice to the world was in August 1978. Since then it has shaped me and vice versa. At the age of six I started to play the piano. If I had had the choice I would have preferred to play the recorder like all my friends. However, my parents insisted on the piano.
Today, I am very grateful.

Today
stands for a time of the last 14 years.
A time I have started to develop my own musical voice and expression. It didn't satisfy me anymore to play classical music only. I wanted to improvise and be creative.

Today
stands for a time of observing, listening and writing. It is incredibly fascinating how many stories life tells us. Having the chance to hear them is even more fascinating. Some of the stories I write down and whilst writing I sometimes hear a melody. This melody leads me to composing a musical story.

Today
is only a short moment, a phase before tomorrow begins.
Today I give performances for everyone who would like to listen
to my musical stories.
I play for people who do not have the opportunity to
listen to the stories of life.
I play for all those who might have forgotten to listen
to the stories their own life tells them.
I play for people who would like to enjoy a pleasant evening and get
carried away by music.

I play for you.

Today.
