His lyrical playing style is characterized by the classical approach to the piano, where the desire for beauty can be found in every note. His compositions and playing style testify to solid craftsmanship, where he stands out for his touch and rich color palette. He came to Het Concertgemaal with his group OAK. The recently released album Eight is a mix of old and new influences. He combined his fascination with the music of Ennio Morricone (from: “The Hateful Eight”) with his interest in the compositions of the French composer Olivier Messiaen.
