Driven by a lifelong love of music and a fascination with audio technology, I've spent the past two decades immersed in the world of rock and metal. This passion led me to drumming at a young age, and eventually to my role as a specialized mixing engineer.
But my journey goes beyond the mixing desk:
Back in 2006, I even snagged the title of Italian Air Guitar Vice-Champion (you can’t go wrong by choosing “Ace of Spades” for an air guitar competition).
From 2005 to 2023, I rocked the stage as the drummer for Stunde Null. We conquered festivals, headlined tours, and landed two albums in the Top 20 of the German Charts (peaking at #11 and #17).
Then came the ultimate "Rockstar Internship" (2018-2020). I served as the personal assistant to the chart-topping, multi-platinum band Frei.Wild. Witnessing the industry from this vantage point was invaluable:
I worked behind the scenes for one of Germany's most successful DIY bands, assisting with organizing massive arena concerts (think 30,000 fans!) and promoting albums that went gold (see my gold award – still chasing that mixing gold, though!).
All this packed me with diverse hands-on experiences that hardly any other mixing engineer has.
That's why I'm more than just a mixing engineer - I’m your remote studio partner, trusted second opinion, and go-to resource. Need help with drum grooves, music release strategies, or industry connections? I can leverage my real-life experience, not just textbooks, to guide you.
Oh, and here's where the bragging rights come in:
Stunde Null "wie laut die stille schreit" (#11 German Album Charts)
Grenzen|Los "Keine Einigkeit um Recht und Freiheit" (#19 German Album Charts)
Todsünde "Herzjagd" (#81 German Album Charts)
Grenzen|Los "Mittendrin statt außen dabei" (#19 German Album Charts)
Stunde Null "Liebe für immer" (#21 German Album Charts)
Rookies & Friends "XMAS Sampler" (#3 German Compilation Charts)
