About Me

Hello! I’m a Netherlands-based pianist and composer with a deep appreciation for jazz and classical music. After graduating from conservatory, I embraced every musical opportunity that came my way. I spent years playing countless gigs, backing jazz singers, composing for string quartets and big bands, teaching piano, and producing music for online content.

A few years before the global pandemic, I decided to switch gears and pursue a professional career in a different field. Music, once the core of my existence, became a cherished hobby. The demands of my new career and the arrival of my two wonderful children shifted my focus away from the piano.

That focus has now returned. I’ve reopened this creative outlet and am diving back into the world of music. Join me as I explore new compositions, record them late in the evening, and share the stories behind my music.

How I approach music

At the moment I’m writing and recording the music that keeps pulling me back to the piano: original pieces, jazz transcriptions, classical works, small experiments with accordion and strings, and the occasional bit of piano tinkering.

In my music, I take an academic approach, challenging myself to always incorporate something musically interesting. It should please the ear while offering something for the mind, if you feel like diving in. At times, my compositions lean more toward classical music, at other times toward jazz, and occasionally lands somewhere in between. Join me on my music creating journey, as I capture and share it here.
