Voice (Bass)

Roots
In Seattle, Washington, USA

Study
I earned two master’s degrees at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. My first degree was in zinc and my second was in Advanced Vocal Ensemble Studies, the advanced training in ensemble singing.

Professional
I work and live as a freelance musician in Germany, near Basel.

Why
I chose this profession because I felt that if I wanted to live a happy life, I had to make a living as a musician.

Elective Affinities
I live with music, but I am also an avid brewer. In the next two years, I will open a small commercial brewery specializing in Belgian-style beers.

Something else
In 10 years I see myself still doing what I’m doing now, which is singing, but the schedule will be a little busier because when I’m not performing, I’ll be brewing beer.
