Dirk plays piano since the age of 10 and studied a broad variety of musical styles in his early musical career. The 1980s are commonly remembered for an increase in the use of digital recording, associated with the usage of synthesizers, with synthpop music and other electronic genres featuring non-traditional instruments increasing in popularity. It was the time Dirk performed in several bands and projects and started some experimental cross genre productions where he experimented with different styles. During the 90s Dirk toured with his band In Contact and released 2 CDs with In Contact and his side project Unknown Vision.
At millennium‘s dawn Dirk retreated and lived out of the public musical world for quite a while. He finally turned back to the public with his solo piano in 2010, which is according to him the most immediate instrument to materialize ideas and feelings into something that connects with this world and can resonate with the audience.
And not only did it resonate but it appeared to happen that he received a rapid growing following as it started out to completely change his life. Now with a huge following on spotify, soundcloud and youtube Dirk has advanced to one of the world‘s most streamed piano composers. His compositions and play have deeply touched millions of listeners worldwide and has been featured in several film projects so far including the award winning movie "Crossroads " at the Cannes Film festival in 2015. In June 2019, Dirk signed an exclusive deal with Sony Classical where and he is going to release his next album "Ocean" in January 2020.
I hope you enjoy my music, share it, like it and drop me a line.

I play this during work hours every day -- the melody has a divine sweetness to it; there is passionate nostalgia that transcends all human thoughts and words...something only the spirit can feel; something only the heart can resonate with.

Sin saber mucho de música, diría que éste compositor está dentro de los que crean música minimalista, es excelente
