About Me

Ever since my childhood I loved to sing! I wrote poems and sang all kinds of music that touched me. I grew up with Mahalia Jackson and finnish folk music. When I was 10 I sarted to play the piano and instead of reading music, I just improvised. In age of 14 I made my first experiences in a band. Over the years I sang in several bands and projects in all different styles (Gospel, Blues, Rock, Pop, Funk, Jazz). When I was 21 I started to take lessons and I fell in love with jazzmusic! Since 2003 I’m studying jazz in the Music Academy Basel. Now I’m getting back to my own music which reflects my convictions, my reason to be and my soul’s desire. I just wanna worship God and „His Purpose“ is the first fruit.
