HI, I'M ANDREAS

Let me briefly introduce myself

Since my early childhood music plays a central role in my daily life. Listening to the record collection of my parents is indeed one of my first childhood memories at all. I started playing keyboard and guitar at the age five. Over the years drums, bass guitar and singing followed in my teenage years.
At the age of sixteen, initiated by my first recording attempts in my do-it-yourself garage studio, I decided that at I want to work in a music studio. So I studied audio engineering and kickstarted various music projects. In parallel I worked in movie production and at TV stations which led to a turnover to sound design and advertising production.
Over the years corporate sound in all facets became my field of activity and besides of that music mastering and music marketing came more and more into my focus. With growing experience I started passing on my knowledge as a tutor helping young artists and producers making their first steps in the media industry. Influenced by my work at academies I completely shifted to producing, marketing, management, coaching and consulting.
Today, I can look back on over 30 years as a musician, on nearly 20 years of recording studio experience, on more than 15 years of working in professional media production and on 10 years of managing creativity-lead or technology-driven projects – and what I like most about my daily work – still, every day is the beginning of a new journey.
