About Me

I was born on a sunny day on 17th July 1983. I grew up in Redange/Attert, a small village in an even smaller country, called Luxembourg. Right on from my childhood, I have been very interested in music and everything connected to it (I have had the great chance to grow up in a house where music was omnipresent). My parents tell me later that as a toddler I already liked to rhythmically beat tin boxes (originally intended for biscuits) mimicking playing the drums. My first instrument, however, was the Saxophone for which I got tuition for 10 years. About 4 years into this I started to pursue my real duty, playing the drums :-). In Luxembourg, I had courses with Frank Hemmerlé (an extraordinary teacher and person), who really got me into the art of playing this beautiful instrument and who made me discover a whole new musical horizon and a new approach to music itself. Workshops with Oliver Stalon, Kris Duerinckx, Fred Delplancq, Marc Mangen, Stephan Pougin, André Kleenes, etc. made me discover my love towards Jazz. Soon after that, I was accepted at the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music, where I got taught by Bruno Castellucci, Michel Hatzigeorgiou, Richard Rousselet, Phil Abraham, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse, Pirly Zurstrassen, Jean-Pol Danhier, Arnould Massart, Guy Cabay, etc. Since 2007 I've been studying at the "Musikhochschule Mannheim", where I have been taking masterclasses with Michael Küttner, Thomas van der Geld, José Cortijo, Joerg Reiter, Thomas Stabenow, Dietmar Mensinger, Jürgen Seefelder, Frank Kuruc, ...
