About
"Music was my first love" – John Miles

Music has been part of my life since I was born. My mum had a piano at home and I grew up with classical music. I either listened to music on my parents' record player or sang or played it myself. My mum and my brother learnt the piano, I learnt to play the violin at the age of 7 and taught myself a few chords on the piano. At the age of 13, I was fascinated by the guitar. I can still remember the day I decided to learn the guitar. A friend's father received the film ‘Live at Wembley 1986’ by Queen as a birthday present. When I saw Brian May at Wembley Stadium and heard his unique sound, I was hooked: I wanted to learn the guitar. This was followed by years of self-taught learning and with teachers, various bands I played in and at some point I started recording and producing music myself. This love of music has always been there and I hope that the ability to make music will be with me for the rest of my life.

Incidentally, I work worldwide and it is also possible for me to work in a studio in another country for a few days, weeks or months.

My services

Composing
You have a melody in your head, but don't really know how to compose and arrange a complete song with several instruments?
Music Production
Are you a singer or songwriter and would like to put your lyrics into a catchy song? Or are you a label looking for producers who can realise your vision and that of the artist?
Mixing
You've composed a song and maybe even recorded parts of it, but somehow the mix doesn't sound like the songs of your idols that you know?

Pricing

Independent Artists
I offer either a combination of a fixed fee + royalties – or, in the case of newcomers whom I consider to have great musical potential, a free production. In this case, I naturally want a higher share of the royalties.
Labels
My pricing for labels is usually a combination of a fixed fee for the production plus travel expenses and a share of the revenue from the sale of the song (streaming, vinyl, etc. royalties).
Film and Advertising
These are mostly individual deals depending on my share of the production and the use of the material (online, offline, TV, local or worldwide, period of use, etc). Let's talk about your individual requirements.
