Fantasy novelist, world builder & Troubadour
I will never stop being a Tolkien fanatic and fantasy fan in general which is the reason I keep writing fantasy novels and doing fantasy folk medieval music as my emotional equilibrium. If you speak German or want to improve your German speaking skills, I invite you to check out this piece of work. Also, I adore fantasy themed board games (although I lose most of the time) and sometimes go live on Twitch just to play MMORPGs casually (and wipe miserably).
Lover & Performer of quality music from Greece
The raw, timeless music of Greece runs in my blood—no question it’s my soul’s fire. This is no gentle tribute; it’s a solar charge—me solo or alongside my fierce partner Elena, wielding guitar and piano to resurrect Greek classics from the ‘60s and ‘70s. We’re not here to soothe—we’re here to stir. Catch us carving the stage across Austria, a troubadour and his muse honoring the Hellenic light, not the new noise.
… and even more things I love doing
Session Musician
After years and years of being a hired gun for all kinds of musical styles, I still value a well-organized and professional project with beautiful music and honesty, which I can lend my guitar skills and passion to.

Teaching for many years in schools and privately, I still offer 1:1 guitar lessons. For those of you who can’t afford a lesson but still want to learn and support me in a different way there’s a lot of content on my Patreon page. (Starting 2026).
