Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: As a kid I started with classical piano. Soon later I found that odd instrument with color-reversed keys. From the very first moment I thought that this instrument rocks! Since then I have played both early keyboards and pop piano/synths alongside each other. Later, I also studied both subjects. In early music I was always fascinated by the idea of finding, being an archeologist of music, revealing something that has been hidden for centuries, or even thousands of years. Digging lost stories out of dust that have been waiting to be retold. At the same time I played piano and synths in bands and wrote & produced songs for myself and other musicians.
