Music

“I draw inspiration for my songs from classical piano compositions. The goal is not to create pop arrangements of these works. Rather, these old piano pieces serve as a starting point — an initial source of inspiration that I continue to develop further, helping me move beyond familiar paths and avoid falling into predictable patterns.

In my first song, for example, I was inspired by the introduction of a Mazurka by Frédéric Chopin. In the second song, I partly use a short melody by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach as an accompaniment and integrate a chord progression from the original piano piece into part of the composition.

Through the combination of my lyrics and music, I hope to convey a sense of hope in a dark world — and to inspire in return. The songs are meant to speak directly to the heart.”
