 Den Haag - I am working for an young and creative company which is founded at 2007

I started playing the harp in 1983 (concerts, background music,..) and since 2007 (after
 some live changing moments & not having played the harp for 15 years!) I decided to
 become a professional musician; a recording harpist, composer and music producer.

 national radio stations. The  I Am A Dreamer CD  has been honored with the great indie 
 award 2008 for excellent production &songwriting. My compos can be heard in several 
 film productions, video installations, games, docus and as intro music on websites.
