I write about the things that keep me awake at night. And sometimes I sing them during the day to people who just want to drink their coffee. That's how art is created.

A modern kitchen countertop with a sleek coffee machine brewing a pot of coffee. In front of the machine are two cups, one black with a red stripe and one red with white inside.
The coffee machine in the office makes a noise like a distorted synthesizer. I record it. My colleague shakes his head. I grin. He doesn't understand. Not yet.

A person holds up a smartphone to record a concert performance. The screen displays the stage and crowd, while bright stage lights and a blue glow illuminate the dark, crowded venue.
On stage, I sometimes notice how the crowd holds its breath. Not because I'm so good, but because we all hold our breath together for a moment.

Today, someone asked me if I was proud of myself. I hesitated. Not out of modesty, but because I'm not done yet. And that's okay.

I collect sounds like other people collect stamps: creaking doors, rain-wet streets, the clicking of a typewriter keyboard. Eventually, they all become music.

Two white high-speed ICE trains with red stripes are parked side by side at a station platform. The trains have aerodynamic noses and large front windows, with a roofed station visible above.
A stranger on the train says, "Your music sounds like it has lived a thousand lives." I smile. He has no idea how right he is.

Sometimes I just sit on the floor and stare at the ceiling. Not because I can't think of anything. But because I'm waiting for the right idea to find me.

A close-up of a professional studio microphone with a pop filter in front of it. The background is softly lit with warm and cool lighting, giving the setup a moody atmosphere.
The third take still sounds wrong, but the fourth will be perfect. Or the fifth. Or I'll just learn to love the mistakes. The night is long.

Hotel room in Hamburg. The shower drips in 4/4 time. I record it. Tomorrow it will be a loop. The day after tomorrow, a track. Eventually, a catchy tune. That's how magic works.

Every morning: 1 page of free writing. No goal, no plan. Today it just said: "The sky is just a blanket with holes in it." Saved as the beginning of a song.

Fan: "Your lyrics save me."
Me: "Then we'll save each other."
Him: smiles
Me: goes home and writes a song about a lifeboat.

Sometimes I don't post anything because I have nothing to say. And sometimes I post exactly that. Press 'Share'.

Today I recorded my voice using an old fan. It sounds like a ghost singing rap. Or a new track. The line is blurred.

Waiting for the subway and watching everyone stare at their phones. Suddenly: new hookline. Thank you, digital loneliness. You are my muse.

On stage: A girl in the front row is crying. Not because the song is sad, but because she feels understood. That's the moment I do it all for.

Barista: "Large latte?" Me: "No, black. Today I need the truth, not the sweet lie." Then orders with sugar anyway.

Taxi driver: "Where to?"
Me: "Anywhere but where I came from."
Him: nods knowingly
Me: writes song title on my hand

The best beats are created when the laptop is almost dead, the battery is flashing, and the neighbors have already rung the doorbell three times. Pressure creates diamonds. And hits.

Followers ask: "How do you stay creative?" Me: "By stopping asking yourself if you're creative enough." Closes laptop and goes for a walk.

I write songs about things I can't say. And sometimes I sing them to people who don't want to hear them. Poetry, baby.

Five minutes before the show. The guitar is out of tune, the jeans are too tight, and someone is knocking on the door. Perfect. That's exactly what life feels like.

An old man in the park plays chess against himself. I watch him for 20 minutes. Suddenly: a new melody in my head. Thank you, stranger. You are now a co-producer.

The technician: "Your microphone is broken." Me: "No, that's intentional." Him: "...". Me: "Trust the process."

A guy on the train just told me that my song got him through his divorce. Me: smiles and nods professionally. Inside: cries and writes a new song.

Sometimes I sit in front of an empty notebook for hours. Then I remember: the best ideas come when I'm NOT thinking. Puts pen down and goes to take a shower.

Hotel room in Cologne. The heating makes noises like an out-of-tune cello. I record it. Maybe it will be the next hit.

At the supermarket: "Can you scan this, please?" – "I'm sorry, I can't." Me: secretly writes song lyrics on the shopping list "Scan my heart, but it's not possible."

2 a.m. Third cup of coffee. The snare still doesn't sound perfect—but it's precisely THIS imperfection that brings the track to life.
