Vita
Hey there, my name is Florian and I'm a Hammond organ player, keyboarder and pianist from Hamburg, Germany.
Having a degree in the major "Pop and World Music with Classical Music" from the Rostock University of Music and Drama, I combine the technical knowledge of a classically trained pianist with knowledge and experience in the pop and rock genre. From distorted hammond organ to piano, e-piano and synthesizers, I have experience in many different areas which are essential for a versatile keyboarder.
I also play the organ and keyboards in the vintage-rock band Dear Robin, as well as the YouTube project The Blue Hospital Sessions and work as a keyboarder in various projects and as a substitute.
