VORWEG: Wundere Dich nicht, wenn es auf dieser Seite Texte auf Deutsch und Englisch gibt! Ich habe als junges Mädchen sechs Jahre in London gelebt und denke in unterschiedlichen Sprachen. Ist nicht üblich, das weiß ich, aber hier ist das so! :-)

FIRST OF ALL: Don't be surprised if there are texts in German and English on this page! I lived in London for six years as a young girl and think about stuff in different languages. I know that's not common, but that's just the way it is! :-)

Loving life and mankind!
 

To touch people's hearts with whatever I do, that's my goal. My voice, my songs, my writing, my work as a teacher and coach, my being.

Born to a musical couple, I was allowed to use the record player and choose from a large variety of LPs from the age of 6, always humming and singing along (sometimes using my little blue hairbrush as a microphone). I listened to Ella Fitzgerald and JJ Johnson, The Carpenters, the Singers Unlimited and to the finest interpreters of baroque music and many more; and I loved every single part of it. I started playing the piano as a child, the saxophone followed in my teenager years (being the baritone sax player in a big band for over 10 years), always sang in choirs, til eventually I had my first band as a solo singer at the age of 19. That‘s when it all really started.

After an education as a preschool teacher, I finally studied jazz singing at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany.

Since then my life has been a colourful mixture of touring with bands, working as a vocal coach, leading choirs and giving workshops on several musical topics. I love working with my vocal and piano students, letting them experience the beauty of music and seeing them grow, as musicians and in their character.

The more accomplished I got as a musician, the stronger I focussed on my composing skills; I‘ve written music for a couple of theatre plays, a dance production, quite a lot of choral works, a special song cycle for me and my piano and some very personal songs.

Singing and writing music have always been the most direct way of expressing my inner self, a wider and much deeper insight of my personality.

In 2019, I unexpectedly received my first job as a speaking voice for Calm.com. I realized how much satisfaction I got from working in the studio as a speaker and since then I enjoy every bit of it. Now in my fifties it is what I love to do the most!

For several years now I have been helping speaking people to explore their vocal potential. It brings me the utmost joy to accompany them in their developement. Their path inspires me to constantly challenge myself.

To learn, to grow and to become the best person I can be.
