I was musical all my life. My mum always watched me hitting things to songs and moving to them when I was really small, so she thought one day, it would be good to give him some drum lessons and buy him a drum set for his 6th birthday. That was the start I guess. When I was 16, I started to make my first productions with Ableton Live and it went pretty quickly when I moved to Frankfurt and released my first techno records on labels like Playhouse, Cocoon, etc.
After playing some bigger stages with my electronic live act, I started the band Lea Porcelain and released two studio albums with that project. We toured for 4 years in Europe and played some major festivals. I guess that was the path into the ‘real’ music industry. When I had the band project, I was always producing some electronic stuff with my synths and felt more and more the desire to go solo again with an electronic live act and my drums. That's where I am now, releasing my debut electronica album and going on tour again soon. I’m really happy about that path I’m going on now.

It somehow calmed me down in a way that we could finish the band album and I could finish my solo album with a clear vision of where I wanna go. For me, it was a time of conciseness and understanding of where we are with that planet right now. I think it’s a really important time for humanity to think about some major changes. And I hope this time we all understand what is to happen.

I think the biggest source of inspiration is my studio and other songs. I always listen to music and get inspired by it and want to do my version of a specific feeling or mood. On the other hand, all my instruments inspire me when I start to play around with them. They pull me in certain directions and I follow them.

I think visuals and videos are really important to a listener's mind. You're gonna associate much more with a song when you have a strong visual and music video to it. Both things combined are in my opinion one of the strongest emotional stimulators.

Having a connection to the people and direct feedback to your performance. I also think it’s a very strong moment when lots of people listen to the same music and have different memories of each song.

That's the year I was born!

I think the opener Nocturne is a very special track to me because it’s so real and so lively. It’s like birds and animals are in there telling us that we should take care of this beautiful planet right now.

Yes, I think the rhythmical impact is very strong. Either playing the drums or playing synth lines. I always think rhythmically. That is also why I love to incorporate live drums in my performance. Having only machines and digital gear gives it another musical level.

I wanted to create a timeless, emotional electronic album that works on festival stages and the headphones lying in bed. Having all these different approaches to electronic music in there. From deep emotions to heavy rave bass drums with roaring synths.

Either in the car, headphones with a wide view on the front of view or seeing me play on a big festival stage.

To play with the limits of electronic music and open them up. I think this is the time for electronic music that goes into all directions of energy and emotions. And, of course, I’m looking forward to playing in front of a crowd and seeing them reacting to my new music.
