VITA

*****

The world of Music is my home, no matter where I’m currently living in the world.  I think in tunes and feel the spirit of Chopin, Bach, Rachmaninoff and the old Masters in my veins. 

Born and raised in Germany as a boy of mixed heritage, with a NigerianBritish father and a German mother, I sucked in all what was left from the old culture of the „Dichter und Denker“.

At the age of four I begged to be allowed to learn how to play the piano. And it took me one year of persistent nudging until I finally got my first piano lesson with a caring and soul nurturing Russian teacher.

Since then, I’ve never stopped playing the piano and to dive into even deeper worlds of sound, tunes, emotions and the stories of natural wisdom the old Masters have provided us with in their compositions. Wonderful mentors like Reinhard Becker, Mikhail Voskresensky, Milana Chernyavska, Adam Gyorgy and Elza Kolodin, have guided me to develop evermore new perspectives.

Currently I’m studying at the Royal College of Music in London in the Masterclass of Dmitri Alexeev.
