Music has had an enormous influence on my life. One day, at the age of 9, I woke up wanting to learn how to play the saxophone. No one in my family had any music background, but a few months later, I started taking lessons. Over the course of 15 years, I studied saxophone, classical piano, modern singing, jazz piano, and music theory. In the later years of my music career, I also started composing and producing music of various genres.
• Composed and produced the soundtrack for the iOS & Android game “Kitty Scratch 2
• Started my own progressive metal band.
• Mastered 3 musical instruments (piano, saxophone, voice).
I owe so much to music, as I believe it has been one of the key activities that allowed my mind to develop in both directions: creativity and rationality. Right after high school, I seriously considered pursuing music as my only career. First as a saxophonist and later on as a metal band lead & composer. This was all happening simultaneously as I was balancing between design and photography, and I ultimately decided to go with the latter.
Kitty Rescratch is an iOS/Android game developed by PlaySys. The story is about a troublemaker cat that gets adopted, but then gets abandoned again due to his naughty behavior (poor cat). The soundtrack I wrote and produced comprises 4 tracks to support the story development and the user interaction.
“Betrayed” is the first single we published. I wrote the song when trying to imagine what it would feel like to be betrayed.
I took care of the whole writing process for each instrument, while each band member took care of arranging and improving his own part.
I wrote “Awakening” to spread a message of hope to those struggling with mental health. The song is about someone that experienced a difficult period in his life, but was able to awake from the slumber and take control of his life.

“Stand in the Dark” is the first song I wrote. Back then my grandmother was battling with ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that eventually leads to the loss of the ability to control muscles, including the ability to speak, eat, and breathe. During that difficult period, I try to imagine what that would feel like, and expressed that through music.
We never recorded the full version of this song, but here’s the acoustic version I recorded.

“In the Rain” tells the story of two lovers that live far away, but feel connected by the rain, as that reminds them of their first, magical meeting on a rainy evening.
This song was never fully recorded, but it lives on as a demo.
• Before even creating the band, I had wrote material for 3 full albums.
• I never studied music composition.
• I learned by myself how to produce, edit, and master music.
• I had a thing for epic strings, and tried to use them in as many songs as possible.
