Statement about your relation with Yamaha or your instrument:
I have been playing Yamaha instruments in a jazz/hip-hop context for over 10 years
How does your instrument help you in your daily life as an artist?
Practising at any time of day is possible, as I like to work at night and be creative. In addition, the Yamaha SV-250 guarantees a sound quality in the band context that allows me to concentrate fully on the music.
Who was your most influential teacher and is there any advice which you still follow?
Maximilian Grosch and all the recordings I have heard and transcribed!
Advice: Forget everything when you're on stage!
