Anoush Seferian and I performed my piece 'Wings' together live on German television. Already during the rehearsals I was fascinated by her talent. Anoush added her own variations to the piece and gave it a new sparkle.

I had the wonderful honour of recording an album with Maria Luefing. For the album "Fallen" Maria lent me her talent on the violin. Whether in one or two voices. Maria always knew how to harmonise our instruments.




After many years of collaboration with renowned music libraries, Joachim Schreiber and Eric Volkert founded the independent music publisher Polarstern Music in Munich in 2015.

Through the label "4TVMusic" founded by Polarstern, my album "Fallen" was mastered and released. This led to an album deal with 4TVMusic and BMG Production Music.
