I aim to write, develop, record and perform beautiful music

The ensembles are many…

…yet the goal remains the same for me:

to move the listener into a realm outside of themselves, so as to experience maximum emotion through the music.

Not just connection. More.

A transcendent experience transforming the listener’s ears, mind, heart and soul to the Unseen Beauty exposed through this gift of music.

It’s not about you nor I, or even the music itself, because Someone greater than the temple is here.

I’ve studied music for as long as I can remember… then Jesus took hold of my life with His amazing grace. Since then, I know that He has gifted me to glorify His Name with music as well as sharing about His incredible love. So, I’m a pastor and a musician, living in Berlin. We minister in English und auf Deutsch.
