Following 10 years of classical piano in the Zoltan Kodaly Academy, the 2017 graduation marked the start of continued music education, exploration and practice. The daily practice and weekly classical piano lessons continue, progressively building piano and keyboard excellence.
Entering the Jazz-Pop Academy in Antwerp in 2017 was a demonstration of clear purpose: to become a performing musician. From then on music became a full-time commitment. And although piano/keyboard and singing are his primary instruments, he equally explores ukulele, guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc. Niels will graduate in 2021, and has demonstrated commitment and competence performing on stage with older graduates.
Co-creation, and collaborating with other passionate musicians is not just great learning. It's fun.

It's not just about song writing and performing. Audio techniques, recording, producing, mixing of covers, own and friends' songs are all part of the game. This includes using FL Studio 20.
