I discovered my love for music at a young age, listening to records by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Tracy Chapman. This inspired me to pick up my father’s guitar and learn my favourite melodies by ear. My natural passion for music led me to play guitar and bass in local bands like Wrestleish, Gangsterdam, and WxD, performing at many of South Africa's music festivals and venues.
I went on to study Sound Engineering at the Academy of Sound Engineering (ASE) in Johannesburg, specialising in Studio Production. After graduating from ASE, I established myself as a Senior Composition Specialist at Audio Militia, one of South Africa’s leading audio agencies. Over the next decade, I composed music for commercials and films for brands like Disney, Nickelodeon, Volkswagen, Nike, and KFC, among others.
My musical style is often described as emotive and versatile, blending a wide range of genres influenced by my Swiss heritage and South African upbringing. My unique approach to composition, shaped by these diverse influences, creates a modern fusion of traditional orchestral scores and contemporary African themes that feels both unexpected and refreshing.
