My Charts 2024
Since May 2024 I have released eight songs. Here are the statistics until December 31st 2024, sorted by streams on Spotify. Isn’t it interesting that my most popular songs are about death and aging?
One Year of Mindful Music
One year ago, on Christmas Eve 2023, I performed Be Proud, the first song of my series Mindful Music, for the first time. I had written it a week earlier as an assignment from a coaching session. My coach asked me to write a song about transforming pride into equalising wisdom in 72 hours and perform it in one week. It was quite a challenge for me to write a song “on demand”, but I am very happy with the result.
A Weird Interview about Death
Tagg Magazine has published a rather strange interview with me about my song ‘Death’. The journalist obviously wanted to ask very original questions. Here are my answers, which I find somewhat fitting.
Recording New Songs in Málaga
Yesterday we recorded the basic tracks for two new songs, and for the first time I did that with my band. We recorded drums, bass and guitar in a studio in Málaga, and for me the way we did it was a new experience.

Big in Japan?
Yesterday I performed my music at the Gamuso Club in Tokyo. My gig was a part of their regular Open Mic Night, which happens every Sunday.
I Will Play Live in Tokyo
On Sunday the 3rd of November I will have a gig at the legendary Gamuso Club in Tokyo! If you happen to be in Japan’s capital then, please join me at 7pm!
I will sing some of my songs live to a backing track. My gig will be a part of Gamuso’s regular Open Mic night, which takes place every Sunday. So it is a rather modest event, but I am very excited about it anyway! I am looking forward to seeing you there – and if you can’t make it yourself, please tell your friends in Tokyo!

My New Single ‘Death’
My new single has been released on Spotify and all major music platforms today. It is a rap about death and rebirth claiming “This is not the end, death can be your friend. It is just a gateway on your hero’s journey.” You may listen to it here.
The music video plays with imagery from the Mexican ‘Dia de los Muertos’, it was a lot of fun to make it!

A Summer Surprise
Assuming that August would be a low month where everyone is on holiday, I even considered not to release a single, but I learned that it’s better to keep a regular frequency. So I decided to release Crazy & Wild, which is a song I like, but as it is an acoustic ballad, I didn’t expect it to be a hit. To my surprise this soulful ballad about aging and the ‘inner child’…
