    10 albums that influenced me

    Some weeks ago, people asked me about my musical influences and I realized, that I never spoke about them openly. As multi-genre composer and songwriter, it’s quite obvious, that my taste of music is quite diverse. Every album I bought has its own story. Some artists influence me directly, some other only in certain stages. I’d like to show you 10 albums that influenced my art and music.

    Going My Way – Turmoils of a new beginning

    My new song “Going My Way” is about overcoming turmoil and welcoming new beginnings. We have recorded an indie pop song in a full band consisting of drums, bass, guitars, piano, synths and vocals. This song has a special meaning, because it’s the official start for my 4th studio album.
