HVOB, Independent

I've been playing drums since my childhood. My musical journey began with classical piano training, followed by drum studies at the Konservatorium Vienna (AT) and Drummer’s Focus in Munich (DE). Later I spent two years in Los Angeles, CA working as a session drummer in studios and on live gigs

Over the years, I’ve been involved in a wide variety of projects, performing live and in the studio with numerous acts and artists including HVOB, Julia, Peter Cornelius, Akjela, Andy Baum, Boris Bukowski, Conchita Wurst, Leftboy, Russkaja, Last Band Standing, Wolfgang Ambros, Opien, Paradaze, Alien Hand Syndrom, Denk, the ORF Dancing Stars Orchestra, Freemen Singers, Roman Gregory, Chris Zitta, Die Seer, Hot Pants Road Club, and Zoon Musiktheater.

I run my own studio “Sush Lab” for drum recordings and electronic music.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Inspiration can come from so many different places—music, conversations, people, even silence. I think it’s really a mix of everything life throws at you, combined with whatever state you’re in at that moment. When I’m looking for inspiration in a musical setting, firing up a modular synth or sitting behind a well-tuned drum kit with Zildjians usually does the trick—reliably.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Love people. Love music. Keep an open mind and an open heart.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    14" K Hi-Hats (early 90s) and 20" Kerope Ride (2015?)
