I’ve done things around music since I was five years old so nearly 40 years. First music was my hobby, then I became a music education student and after graduation I’ve worked as a music teacher. I’ve composed and made lyrics since I was a high school student and I got a degree in Music Production, Songwriter’s area of study in February 2020. So I dare to call myself as a pro in music.
As a school kid I spent easily hours playing the piano and singing. When in high school my friends went to have a cup of coffee on a free period I went to the library’s music room to play the piano. When I was on my maternity leave and my baby had a nap I started to record my first album. When a lot of people enjoy themselves in front of the tv in the evening I like to spend my time in my studio (except when I’ve found a new great tv-series and watch it nearly non-stop).
I’ve never been interested in only one instrument or music genre. I’ve had lessons in playing the piano, violin, accordion, guitar and singing. I’ve played classical, finish schlager, pop, rock, folk music and tango argentino.
Doing so one genre hasn’t risen above the other in it’s significance or in my skills. Manysidedness is my strength. If I get an order to make a popsong or tango or samba I know what are the characteristics of the style and know how to play them. My manysidedness comes across also in that I compose, write lyrics, arrange and produce my music. These skills haven’t come for free beside being a music teacher. I’ve practiced and studied those things after studying or working days.
Before I got my first studio-program I arranged my songs with Yamaha PSR-3000 -keyboard and with some bands. Getting my first version of Cubase in 2005 made it possible to start exploring studio-programs. Nowadays I make music with Logic.
Maybe you’ve already got it: Music is my passion! If I manage to get someone relax, cry, dance or get some other reaction while listening to my music, I’ve succeeded!
I take orders in music making for example:
- other artists (the whole song or for example the composition and production)
- companies (makin music for example to their videos or adds)
- Tv- and movies productions
- Private wedding- or congratulation songs
