"Playing the piano is my path, my only one. If I had not begun to play, I would have become insane. I was in a real bad state. And still today playing is a little self-therapy. Easing by playing. Some write diary, some ignore, I document&183; I have this urge to write songs about anything that comes across my way and cuts me up or down...just anything that moves me. I see the piano as an instrument like our voice. I can speak a language with it – just to express myself a little better.
I have a mission. My mission is to emancipate the piano. I'm just bored of the fact that many people reduce it to the symbol of classical music and that the piano is often only used as an accompaniment. But it has so much more to be shown, to be played out loud in the world. I want this instrument to sound progressive and new without losing its classical worth. So I gave it an individual place next to my voice to compete with it. It became the most important instrument in my songs and it is definitely not replaceable. Today I play it the revolutionary way. There is no genre where my prog-piano is home and none where it's not. Is there any law in the world that says that Rock music has to be played by guitars? I don't think so. The piano and me – we can play it twice as hard."
