I was born in 1950. From the age of 13 I’ve been taking guitar and clarinet lessons. I later took up the piano, saxophone and electric bass.

Between 1970 and 1990, approximately, I toured as a professional musician with a variety of music groups throughout Europe, as during the 1970s and ‘80s there were numerous dance venues and nightclubs with live music.

For family reasons I later gave up touring.

After several years of training as an arranger and composer at the music academy in Munich, I now focus on composing different styles of music.
