I am an half Austrian, half American who was raised in Japan till the age of 7, then moved to Vienna, Austria where I still live today.
Currently I am teaching piano and singing as a private teacher. I also coach and help all kinds of musicians, producers and bands. I myself am a singer-songwriter, pianist, film score composer and frontman of a progressive metal band.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I travelled a lot of the world touring and performing music. Now my time is mostly dedicated to a lot of new projects based in Vienna, so I'm bound to stay here most of the year. Yet i have decided to find more time to travel and meet people from all around the world, that I can work on some new music, maybe just exchange experiences and ideas, cultural exchange and create great memories! With Couchsurfing I hope to find a way to combine my lifestyle with traveling, because I simply don't like to stay in a Hotel, be forced to be a tourist, and not to be able to express or even find inspiration trough exchange of ideas and thoughts with similar minded artists, travelers, and open minded people. I think with Couchsurfing I might be on the right track!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

You know the joke "How can you play in Carnegie Hall?" - well the answer would be "practice, practice, practice"..
yet the jokes on me because sang in Carnegie Hall, without a lot of practice, well, honestly, I simply didn't prepare the music well enough.
