The lessons take place in my own studio, at your home or online via webcam.

About Me

I am a trained jazz musician and work full-time as a live performer. My passion for music began in early childhood: I started playing the recorder at the age of five and took up the saxophone at nine. I gained early stage experience in big bands, funk, soul, and rock groups before enrolling in the jazz and saxophone program at the Conservatorium Maastricht, where I graduated in 2021.

During my studies, I was taught by renowned musicians such as Reiner Witzel (former saxophonist for Udo Lindenberg, Marla Glen, Xavier Naidoo) and Claudius Valk (winner of the 2014 Neuer Deutscher Jazzpreis for best soloist).

Today, I perform regularly in a wide variety of musical projects and styles, appearing on both national and international stages. Highlights include performances at the North Sea Jazz Festival Rotterdam, JazzOut Limburg, the Göttingen Jazz Festival, Parkcity Live, Spetaculo, and many more. My work has also been featured on public radio and television, including NPO Jazz, Radio Benelux, and the Dutch broadcaster L1mburg TV.

In 2023, I completed additional training as a sound engineer at Renaissance Studio Cologne under Thorsten Rentsch, who has worked with artists such as Heino, the Kelly Family, BAP, Guildo Horn, and the Backstreet Boys.
