a member and curator for the association All2gethernow e.V. The a2n is an independent platform and event series that looks for new strategies within the music business and it’s cultural landscape.

I curate a film series at various kinos and art spaces around Berlin. I curated a film series in Babylon Mitte // called Berlin - New York which brought New York filmmakers to Berlin (i.e. Matt Wolf, Jennifer Vendetti, Brent Green, Paul Auster...) to screen their films and hold discussions. I mainly screen documentaries & art films, many of them with a leaning towards music.

I book bands and promote concerts in different venues around Berlin. I have a regular series that i organzie 2-3 mthly. in Schokoladen Mitte called M:SOUNDTRACK - I also curate a film series under this same moniker with internatonal films (i heart documentaries) mostly dealing with the genres of music and art. The directors are invited to Berlin to present their films. In addition, balancing between the two worlds I work as a freelance music supervisor & consultant for film, t.v., advertising & new media

Cultural Manager in Berlin since 2008: One project that i would like to realize in is a Rock Camp for Kids. This would be a pilot project for 30 children in the Berlin districts of Mitte and Wedding. Das Kulturschock Rock Camp für Kids ermöglicht Kindern und Jugendlichen aus Wedding und Mitte eine Woche gemeinsam mit in Berlin lebenden Musikern und Pädagogen erste Erfahrungen mit Instrumenten und im gemeinsamen Musizieren zu sammeln. Zum Abschluss des Camps werden die Teilnehmer auftreten.
