Hello, I’m Martin. I’m a musician living in Berlin, Germany. I am also a dedicated coach and composer, a fan of yoga and writing. I’m interested in arts and education. You can take my class with a click on the button above, or by visiting my website.

Music to me means communicating in countless and fascinating ways. It is my passion to open doors for others to play music, to achieve a clearer understanding of the underlying basics and principles, and to build a personal repertoire.

I started self-taught on the electric bass, studied classical double bass in Berlin with Klaus Stoll. I also plays six string acoustic fretless bass guitar. I uses various 5th tunings on my basses. I am at home in classical music, afro-caribbean, jazz, turkish and related, flamenco, new klezmer. I am a soloist and as a sideman integral part of Berlin and the German jazz scene. From 1995 to 2005 I was teaching at the Berlin Hans Eisler jazz department. From 2003-2010 I was bandleader at the show Pompduck & Circumstance. Since 2010 I am part of the Global Music Academy, teaching and performing in Germany, and also frequently in Africa.
