I love music and I am just a causual singer who tries to transport my feelings into a piece of music and I hope to touch people with it..
I have studied at the university in Munich Music and Pedagocis with the main subject : classical vocal technic and I have had private lessons with the Pop-Jazz-Gospel singer Roberta Kelly know from the hits Fly Robin Fly and Lady Bump also background singer of the Jacksons 5).
My happiest moments are when people feel touched with my imterpretation and the decided voice-style and as voice is such a matter of personal taste I can not be expecting that everybody likes what I am doing and for sure I am not perfect.. the more as I am trying to do so many different voice styles in a big range from trying to use also different frequences when I sing in tenorina style to ethnic,-gospel-jazz-sound, to chanson-breast-voice, over to pop-musica-belting, breathy breat or headvoice , to light-strong-without vibrato folk to classical technic. Not concentrating on one style means never to be perfect but I love all styles..:-) but I try my best to give all my feelings also into the necesarry dynamics : piano, forte, mezzoforte , crescendos, decrescendos, legatos or staccatos ! :-)

As seen with Haggard, Equilibrium, Nota profana, Cantus Lunaris, Death Army, Aeternum, Theatre of Night, Dominia, Diskelion, Triskolian,...
Guest in Bands like: Diabulus in Musica, Dunkelschön, Coronatus, Excecror Vecordia, and a many others..

I am a classical trained and studyied Soprano (high Soprano) and also I have a lot of studio experience because of many project and band recordings and also movie and advertisement.
I have (really! A lot people just say or can only sing the notes very very breathy, I can sing them loud and use them in unplugged concerts) about 4 octaves but hardly use it. For the average normal singing you hardly use it as it is not necessary as normally songs are located into 2-3 octaves and also the audience mostly do not like to hear and do not lke the high notes so much. Normally it is not necessary, except for the low section when I sing tenorina and ethno styles or for the really high octaves singing with classical technic ( very loud) the high notes for improvisations for sephardic or a cover of Mariah Carey.
I have developed some singing styles and technics to create different "voices" right now I am into singing lessons with my teacher being a Tenorina (female Tenor).
With my ensemble for old music and celtic I have experienced a lot of Medieval, Renaissance, Barock but also Celtic/folk and oriental /jewish songs what I try to interpret with different ethic sounding vocal-technic.

I was with a lot of different styled ensembles and bands of different genres (from Big-Band to Jazz to Rock and Metal, for example orchestral symphonic claissic background bands like Haggard, Equilibrium, Nota Profana (musicans of the famous Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra with their conducter Gustavo Dudamel - very known in the classical scene) and a lot more bands..) , recordings and also on stage, as well with opera productions and have worked in choirs and orchestras and also in the state opera in Munich.
Also I have founded a international ensemble of old music and celticfolk what playes all the coulours of the different musicbackgrounds of the pariticipating members. From Medieval to Barock from oriental styled to jewish influences.
I am allready worked with composers in the past from England, Japan and Russia and with bands and projects from all over the world.
