Johannes Kersthold loves to live and strives to be an artist, pianist, composer, producer and much more. He has been a musician since his youth. He studied classical music and played in jazz rock formations in his hometown of Trier, Germany. Later he moved to Berlin to obtain a degree in music from the University of the Arts. At that time he played in various formations, large bands and orchestras. He learned a lot about African, Latin American, contemporary and jazz music and their history. This, together with his individual studies in sound research on synthesizers and professional music software, kept him always fresh and interested in exploring new possibilities in music.
