About

I'm a Berlin-based musician, DJ, producer, and event organizer with nearly a decade of professional experience performing, producing, and building music communities. My work spans hip hop, indie, R&B, house music, electro, acid, techno, trip-hop, experimental reggaeton, and other genre-blending electronic styles. I've performed at renowned venues including Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, Kater Blau, Plötzensee, Jupiter Disco (New York), and Videoclub (Bogotá), and I'm the founder of the Berlin event series Wormhole Studies as well as a co-founder of the band nopornada.

My teaching philosophy is centered on helping students develop their own artistic voice rather than simply copying techniques. Whether you're learning to DJ, produce music, or deepen your understanding of electronic music, I tailor every lesson to your goals, experience level, and musical interests.

Lessons are practical, hands-on, and project-based. Depending on your objectives, we can cover:

  • DJ fundamentals (beatmatching, phrasing, EQ, transitions)
  • Guitar, piano, bass, drums basics and advanced
  • Rekordbox, CDJs, and club preparation
  • Music production in Logic X Pro and other DAWs
  • Sound design and sampling
  • Arrangement and songwriting
  • Mixing and creative workflow
  • Building a unique musical identity
  • Preparing for your first live performance or DJ set
  • Event organization and understanding the electronic music scene

I believe the best way to learn music is by making it. Every lesson includes practical exercises and real-world guidance drawn from my experience as an international artist, producer, and promoter. My goal is to help students become confident, independent musicians who understand both the technical and creative sides of their craft.

Whether you're a complete beginner, an aspiring DJ, or an experienced producer looking to refine your sound, I'll help you develop the skills and confidence to reach the next level.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is hands-on, collaborative, and tailored to each student's goals. I believe the best way to learn music is by creating it, so every lesson focuses on practical application rather than memorization. Whether you're interested in DJing, music production, or developing as an artist, we'll work on real projects that build skills you can immediately use.

I encourage experimentation and help students develop their own artistic identity instead of simply following trends or copying other artists. Alongside technical skills, I teach creative decision-making, workflow, musical storytelling, and the mindset needed to perform and create with confidence.

Lessons are adapted to your experience level. Beginners receive a structured foundation, while more advanced students can focus on refining their sound, improving their performances, and overcoming creative roadblocks.

Because I actively work as a performer, producer, and event organizer, I also share real-world insights into the music industry—from preparing for gigs and networking to releasing music and building a sustainable creative career.

Curriculum

Project-Based Learning (the core method)

This is the most effective approach for production.

Idea: Students learn by finishing real tracks, not exercises.

How to apply it:

  • Start with a simple goal: “Make a 1-minute beat”
  • Gradually increase scope: loop → arrangement → full song
  • Teach skills only when they are needed (“just-in-time learning”)

Why it works:
Students immediately see how mixing, drums, harmony, and arrangement connect.
