Band: Solo Artist

 

Instruments: Mahogany Tenor Ukulele

 

Bio: Born and raised in Linz, Austria, I have always been drawn to music. Whether it was the piano, the guitar, or the drums in our house, I couldn’t stop playing around. At the age of six, I started playing the flute, which I studied at the Mozarteum, Salzburg for four years as part of my university education, where I could fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher for music and English (secondary education). When I was eleven, I discovered my passion for song writing, and I haven’t been able to stop expressing my experiences and feelings in music ever since. Besides my devotion for working with children and young adults, I am currently collaborating with local DJs, for and with whom I write and perform originals as well as cover songs.

 

In 2019, I started posting videos of song covers on Instagram, in which I play the ukulele and sing several polyphonic voices. When Lanikai asked me if I wanted to collaborate with them, I was over the moon. What an honor to be a part of this amazing musical family that helps me pursue my musical dream and enables me to pass down hands-on practical knowledge to my students.
