I was born in Basel, Switzerland, as the oldest of three. Growing up all of us played instruments and we often performed together. Our parents exposed us to classical as well as modern music. My dad (piano) and I (violin) often jammed, playing standards up and down.

Soon I joined my first rock band as a singer. We played mostly Switzerland and France. From that point on I was always involved in one or another band, singing and playing piano and keys. Gigging gave me valuable experience as a performer.

Writing and co-writing got me the job as a jingle writer for local radio stations, later that led to writing jobs for theater and the decision to pursue music professionally. I got my musical education mostly from the Swiss Jazz School in Bern and Berklee College of Music in Boston MA.

I have been performing and recording as a singer and keyboardist in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Orlando, Zurich, Basel, and Paris with Brigitte Nielsen, Charlene Tilton, Jim J. Bullock, Char Jackson, Jeanne Mas, Bleu, Groovepack, Almost Famous, and my own band DEVAS.
