I was born in Graz, Austria, grew up in Vienna and moved to Bristol in 2018 where I set up Sound Your Voice and started my new ensemble that focuses on performing and developing original music.

My work as a creative artist started around about 2006. Besides my solo works and performances I’ve been part of many studio and live projects, as a singer, songwriter and backing vocalist. My music has been featured on radio and TV, in interviews, on live-appearances and on tours. I collaborated with various and renowned artists in the range of Jazz, Theatre, Musical Storytelling, and Conceptual and Visual Arts.

One of my first assignments as a vocal teacher was as a guest lecturer at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2007.
Around 2011 I started to regularly teach singing one-on-one, working with stage actors, young adolescents, beginners and young emerging artists.
From 2016 until 2019 I conducted group lessons and workshops for almost 300 adults, very beginners, helping them to overcome their fear of singing and to reconnect them with their vocal and musical verve.

I studied at the Institute of Music and Movement Education/Rhythmics and Music Physiology at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna for 3 years, and received my certificate as a singer and music teacher in Jazz and Contemporary Music with honours at the Vienna Music Institute in 2014.
Since 2019 I continue my training as a singer and vocal teacher with world-class coaches and vocalists around the world at the Institute for Vocal Advancement.
