"He is already one of our most profound composers of the last decade."

In 2012, he began his percussion studies at the HfMT Hamburg with Massimo Drechsler, Stephan Cürlis, and Cornelia Monske. He continued his studies at the HfM "Hanns Eisler" with Franz Schindlbeck, Rainer Seegers, and percussion soloist Li Biao. His first orchestral position was with the Philharmonie Südwestfalen in 2014. Additionally, he performed with the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, where he also appeared as a soloist. He was a finalist in the international competition of the Percussive Arts Society in Italy, won 2nd prize at the international competition "Marimba Festiva" in Bamberg, and received a special prize from Bayerischer Rundfunk. Since the summer semester of 2023, he has held a teaching position for marimba at HMT Leipzig, and he has been a member of the Philharmonic State Orchestra Hamburg since the 2017/18 season.

In addition to his work as a percussionist, he initially composed several pieces for percussion and chamber music – for example, his composition ‘Samsara’ won the Interstellar Composer Competition 2021. During his Master’s studies in Composition under Prof. Fredrik Schwenk at the Hamburg University of Music and Performing Arts (graduating in 2024), his compositional repertoire expanded through various commissions (including from the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Edition Svitzer and the WinterMUSIK Festival), encompassing pieces for orchestra, chamber ensembles and music theatre. Social and philosophical issues often shape his musical inspiration – with the aim of moving people, conveying a message and building bridges. His works for percussion are published by Edition Svitzer, with whom he maintains close contact. He is currently completing his Konzertexamen (Concert Performance Diploma) at the HfMT Hamburg under Prof. Fredrik Schwenk.
