Jan is a musician and medical doctor living on the Atlantic coast of Ireland in the seaside village of Strandhill, Co Sligo. 
 Born in Germany where he developed a great love of its forests and folklore, he moved to Ireland and expanded his love of nature with the sea and mountains. 
 Jan’s work as an Anaesthesiologist and Intensive Care Consultant is counter-balanced by creating music inspired and informed by the wild landscapes of the Atlantic seaboard. 
 The light ever-changing on the water and the winds pushing over the mountains, headlands and fields bring energy and momentum to his music, and his life.
