Musician, Composer & Creative Mentor 
Music has been my compass, my refuge, and my language for as long as I can remember. I was born into a world of rhythm and sound, where music was not just something to play—it was something to breathe, feel, and live. My formal training took me through the Graz Conservatory and Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz, where I immersed myself in Jazz and Popular Music, as well as Jazz Instrumental Pedagogy. But music, for me, has always been something that reaches beyond technique—into something raw, timeless, and alive.
For over two decades, I have helped people reconnect with music—not just as a skill, but as a deep, intuitive force that moves through them. Whether guiding students on guitar, bass, or ukulele, or leading improvisational explorations, I see music as a place where people rediscover their own voice, break through creative blocks, and step into a sense of flow and freedom. I have composed and performed in various musical projects, including Kuzgunla Ben & Alper Yakin and Beklen Band—and in 2021, I released my first solo album, Ting, a project that reflects my ongoing journey through jazz, world music, and improvisation. My music is inspired by the tension between structure and spontaneity, by the push and pull of melody and silence, and by the moments when sound becomes an invitation into something greater than ourselves. What to Expect in My Approach I see music as a pathway into presence—a way to listen more deeply, express more fully, and let something beyond words move through you. Whether I am performing, composing, or mentoring students, my approach is organic, intuitive, and deeply embodied. Music is more than notes and rhythms—it is a conversation, a force of nature, a bridge to something unseen. With a background in jazz, improvisation, and world music, I help students break free from rigid patterns and tap into their own unique musical voice. My work is about exploring the relationship between structure and play, discipline and spontaneity, and ultimately, about helping people trust the music that is already alive within them. Why I Do This Work Because I believe that music is something we don’t just play—we become. It is a pulse, a vibration, a bridge to something ancient and universal. It is about connection-to ourselves, to each other, and to the deeper rhythms that shape us. And now, alongside Delphi, I stand at the threshold of something new. Together, we are a force of nature—weaving sound, movement, and transformation into a space where people can rediscover themselves, step into resonance, and create from the core of their being. If you feel the pull, the curiosity, the calling—then the journey has already begun. |
