"Music is my way of communication. Since I was able to play a guitar, all I wanted is to be understood. This little bit of sentimentality or originality still chases my songwriting foundation until now. Having grown up with music that truly took my dreams into another dimension being influenced by a wide array of genres and artists from Freddie Mercury, The Cure, Stone Temple Pilots was a time when my emotional mature led to the music world. Much like of this influences are far - reaching into my music production: from cinematic moodscapes to traditional pop - rock guitar and piano. Also I am creating music for sync licensing opportunities in different styles and genres for TV / Advertising, but sad and mysterious cinematic orchestral compositions for Trailer / Film / Video Game."
