Media Applause

"Beautiful sound, sensitivity and expressive nuance."

— International Piano

What is a piece of music you return to when you need to remember why you became a musician?

When you truly love something or someone, they become part of your existence. I love playing the piano, so I don’t need something to remind me.

What is a work of art that you think more people should know about and why?

Perhaps many know the 1927 film Metropolis already... but I think it has a great message that seems quite relevant for our current times.

How do you unwind after a performance?

Talking with my loved ones.

What is a place in the world that has changed the way you think about sound?

Paris — the art and culture there inspired my last album Nature a lot and it continues to inspire my next one... ;)

What is something you’ve learned to do in the last five years that has nothing to do with the piano?

Accepting love.
