I write and produce music. I have done so from an early age on, music is my great passion in this life time.
My songs have been radio playlisted on KissFM/UK, Capital (Andy Durant)/UK and KissFM/Germany, have charted in the British Music Week Club Charts in Top 10, at #5 “Anonymous” and #12 “I Wanna Go There” with J Latif and scored numerous licensing deals and features such as on CSI New York and Abercrombie & Fitch.

I have also won songwriting awards and been a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC).

My music has been on national and international radio as well as TV, including MTV’s Laguna Beach, The OC, Newport Harbor, Dance Nation/UK and charted 3 times in the Top 20 British Commercial Pop Club Charts.

Some other highlights include writing, producing and touring with J Latif, a deal co-writing/producing songs with 6-time Grammy® winner Glen Ballard, collaborating with Cindy Gomez (Universal/Dave Stewart), Justin Carter (American Idol) and future projects with Stacey Barthe (Universal Music Group) to name a few.

I also work as a remixer and house, dance-music artist (under the alias “Mot and Krid”). Projects have included Katy Perry’s single “Waking up in Vegas” for Capitol Records, J Latif’s singles “I Wanna Go There” and “Anonymous” and collaborations with Moto Blanco, Stonebridge, The Soul Seekerz, Buzz Junkies and Searle&Allan.

I was born in Manhattan, N.Y. and grew up in Germany. I discovered my parents Beatles records at an early age and fell in love with music. I first started playing my Mom’s piano and began to create little bits and pieces of my own music, founded my first original band at the age of 14 playing drums and soon was working for local bands as a session and touring drummer at the age of 17.  

My career as a freelance drummer then brought me back to America/Los Angeles and along the way I had the chance to meet and collaborate, first as a drummer and then songwriter and producer, with many diverse and talented artists.
