Question 1

What does the O. mean?

Accepted Answer

The mystery of life can’t be explained — only experienced.

Question 2

What do you play live?

Accepted Answer

That depends on where I am, who I’m playing for and what the moment calls for.My own music is at the heart of what I do.For events, I also draw from a broad repertoire across different genres and decades.I’d rather follow the energy of a room than a fixed setlist.

Question 3

What can I expect from your live performances?

Accepted Answer

Me, my voice, my guitar — and, if it fits, a loop station.From soulful concerts to events.But basically: just contact me.If I feel a heart-YES,  I’m in to create something amazing together.

Question 4

When did you start making music?

Accepted Answer

Music has always been a big part of my life, but for a long time, I never focused on it too much — nor did I study it.I first started experimenting with writing my own music when I published my autobiography "Barfuß am Weg. Mein JA zur ungezähmten Lebendigkeit." in 2022.I wanted my readings to be felt, not just understood. So I started turning different chapters into songs, creating a reading and music experience.From that moment on, I kept writing.In June and November 2025, I released my first two singles, Home and Be You, as live recordings.Since January 2026, I’ve been self-employed and working as a full-time independent artist.

Question 5

Where are you from?

Accepted Answer

I was born and raised in a little village in Lower Austria, in a big family with four siblings.After two years of travelling and working abroad, followed by seven years of studying and working in Vienna, I finally found my way back to nature.Since 2025, I call beautiful Kitzbühel in Tyrol, Austria, home.
