Hey! I am a young entrepreneur, student and dreamer. I studied Business Psychology in my Bachelor's degree and am now studying Strategy and Digital Business in my Master's degree. I am also the founder of a web agency. My motto in life is to never stop learning and to keep going forward.

I am fascinated by electronic music. I find it especially interesting that any kind of sounds can be mixed together to create wonderful songs. I myself was a DJ and could experience how music can arouse emotions, how music can create connections.

Can human behaviour be predicted? I think so, if you take into account past experience, hormone levels and other factors. I find this thought game incredibly interesting and often wonder if and when we will reach this point.

How I became a DJ and whatI learned from it: It started when I was about 13 years old, when my father introduced me to Paul Kalkbrenner. A german producer who makes electronic music. His style is unique and resembles to nothing I had ever heard before. Since then, I began to listen to electronic music and began my discovery to find further similar producers. One day in sports I got the task to do a remix for a sports session. Thats when I started with music editors. I soon began to realize that transitions without real mixing were awful. So I cracked a professional dj software and started to do real remixes. My fellow students were amazed by my mix and I got recognition for something I loved. So I bought a small mixer to continue my way. I started to organize smaller events at my house and act as a dj. My parents weren't too amazed, since they said that it is not giving me any benefit, but I didn't listen. With more and more practice, the small mixer was soon not enough anymore, so I bought a bigger one and started to play in clubs and house partys. I saw djing not just as playing a playlist, but rather as counting a story. Just like a book, a mixtape has an introduction, a climax and an end. Unlike books however, I am telling the story live. I can adapt the story to crowd dynamics. With a simple song, I could make them jump, make them emotional, make them happy. All that to create a unique experience. Along my career I played on various locations in Germany and Spain and had an incredible experience. I once lost a piece of my tooth in the middle of my set which was an interesting experience.

Most of my friends do not know that I am good with data. When I first presented them my calculations, they were quite surprised, as they just knew me as the "presenter" guy.
