About

I am a  jazz pianist-composer and educator with two decades of professional experience as a jazz musician and with 8 years of teaching experience.

I have a master degree in jazz piano and studied composition on a master's program at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz (Austria). I also won multiple awards with my jazz trio, and played as a session and studio musician for years. I also composed music for big-band, large ensembles  and experimental projects.
