Landesjazzpreis Baden-Württemberg). In addition to his work as a pianist, he also teaches as a professor of jazz piano and ensemble conducting at the Hochschule für Musik in Nuremberg and Mannheim.

His music moves stylistically in the field of modern jazz, but is at the same time influenced by various other musical styles of the modern era. With the Berlin saxophonist Wanja Slavin and drummer Peter Gall, as well as the Freiburg bassist Arne Huber, he found three fellow musicians who help his music to achieve a particularly great expressiveness. However, they do not only act as accompanists. Each band member uses soloistic freedom and fits perfectly into the individual group sound, which is characterized by energy, transparency, interaction and dynamics. Their current program is characterized above all by expressivity and strong melody lines. The emotional content of this music is always in the foreground for the quartet.
