Back in my early teen days my musical bent brought me into the music world. I always loved making music by myself and although I never became some kind of rockstar in a band, I somehow found my way into the touring scene.

Touring not only taught me how to setup backlines, unload trailers or work under high stress levels – it also made me learn how to freeze memories with a camera. Since my side job as touring backliner/roadie gave me a great opportunity to bring both the music – and photography/videography world together, I decided to give content creation a try and see what comes.

After I bought my first DSLR camera back in 2015, I started to take every thinkable chance after unloads and setups to learn how to use a camera. No matter if it was the artist I was working for, a support act or backstage life – there was always something that was worth to be memorized as a picture and helped me to improve my work. What started as an attempt to find a new hobby became my biggest passion that ever since made me challenge myself, learn and make lots of mistakes to become a better content creator.

The music industry is rough but life’s just too short and valuable to not try to achieve your dreams. I’ve spent way too much time working full time in monotone office environments and for sure I have no clue what the future will bring, but I’ve learned that focussing on your dreams will always make you work hard to accomplish something great.
