Early Life & Career
He successfully applied to the casting of Voice Kids as he wanted to take things to the next level and become a professional. His performance was memorable and the show was recorded. His goal on the show was to give the audience throughout Germany
the magic of his talent for music.
After his experience with the show, he began to record his own music in Germany.
Since then he has travelled the world to meet with many different producers in the Music industry. He considers Los Angeles, California a hub for creativity in music and Fashion.
The first time he spent time in Los Angeles, he witnessed at a party that every single music producer in the industry was smoking Marijuana. This was a different vibe and experience that he had ever seen in meetings with other producers he had met with in cities like London, Netherlands, New York, Detroit and so on - he considered their vibe and their creativity very much the same.
He has since decided to make Los Angeles the place where he likes to produce his music.
Personal
He does not smoke Marijuana and does not drink or do any drugs. He has asked people who work with him to respect this way of lifestyle as he has an immense respect for his music.
People often say to him: "you think you can sing faggot?" So he is determined to prove them so.
He doesn't write his lyrics in his first language of German because he wants to have a global appeal for his music as he believes that more people can be reached this way.
