Born in 1969 between the hills and forests of Siegen, Germany
I started to play drums at the age of 8 in Dancemusic-, Pop- and Jazzbands, and with the age of 18 I discovered the world of percussion
Between 1995-2000 I studied Worldmusic percussion & drums at Rotterdams Conservatory, my teachers were a.o. Martin Verdonk, Lucas van Merwijk, Alaor Soares
Studytrips to Spain, Italy, Greece - with teachers like Zohar Fresco, Andrea Piccioni, Roberto Chiga, Cepillo.
In 2009 I received a scholarship from Fonds voor de Podiumkunsten to study for 5 months in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where I enjoyed lessons with Erivelton Silva, Marcio Bahia, Celsinho Silva, Luiz Guello.

My passion is to accompany singers and soloists in the magical musical meltingpot of the Netherlands and abroad, to accurately find out what is needed to enhance the songs and pieces, and last but not least to provide my personal style and sound.
