Composer based in Hamburg, also teaches piano at the international school and teaches something else at the music academy.

I'm originally from Indonesia but I’ve decided to make Germany home.

Besides music, I am definitely passionate about food. I cook rather well too (that's what happens when you're an Indonesian stuck in a city with no Indonesian restaurant). And I cook for people quite often, but that doesn't mean I don't like it when people cook for me :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving all the way from Australia to Germany without knowing the language to learn the language, being stupid and applied to do the Master's degree at just one academy and very luckily got in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking Indonesian food, maybe? But I can cook other types of food too. Some Indonesian, Hokkien (it's a great language to swear in), whatnot.
