Back when I was a high school kid, I’ve been told more than once to think twice about my intention to turn my passion for music into my profession. But frankly, I have never regretted it. On the contrary! Less than 10 years later, I obtained my bachelor and master degrees at the conservatory in Utrecht (The Netherlands). Since, I’ve been active as a recording and live performing musician, composer, audio engineer and teacher/coach. Some of my works have been awarded with Indaba-music awards (chosen by a.o. Paul Simon and Steve Reich).Keywords: #contaguousenthusiasm #”bestearsintown” #crossgenre #crosscultural #connectionthroughmusic #qualityoverquantity #sustainabilityMULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST (live / studio)piano • drums • guitar • bassguitar • percussion • synthesizers • organs * virtual instruments(works/worked with bart soeters and johan olof, aka Lemonsharks, 'valentín' piano performance in a movie by alejandro agresti, pianist at theater productions stijn van der loo and paul passchier)ENGINEERaudio editing / post production • restoration • (re)mastering • (re)mixing • producing(worked for projectsam and various classical and jazz instrumentalists/ensembles, f.e. ellen van lelyveld, folker tettero, floris verbeij)COMPOSER / ARRANGERcompositions on demand • music for media, documentaries • piano/band accompaniments for singers(worked for a.o. jobfilm productions / vredespaleis / carnegie stichting, maarten corbijn)STYLESclassical • modern (jazz/world/latin/pop)BRANDSapple • universal audio • native instruments • acoustat • custom earsTEACHER/COACH(works/worked at the piano academy in amsterdam, artez conservatory zwollePASSION & INTERESTSmusic • sound • art • photography • traveling • sustainabilityEXPERIENCE15+ years being composer/engineer/producer25+ years being pianistAWARDS15+ indabamusic awards (chosen by a.o. paul simon and steve reich)
