Have you been at it for a while but are having trouble finishing tracks? Or are you just taking your first steps in Ableton and Logic? Have you watched dozens of YouTube videos and feel like everyone is saying something different? 🤯 Are you wondering why your mixes don't sound as precise and powerful as you imagined? Are you not quite able to implement a certain style and are wondering what is missing? Sounds? Drums? Chords? Do you want to work more with singers but have no idea how to produce or record vocals? Are you lacking workflow techniques to get from idea to implementation more efficiently? Are you unsure about the next steps to build a career as a producer?

Then you are exactly right here!

Your next steps:
1. Link me to your current tracks and we can discuss your goals and interests together.

Extra information

– What genre do you teach? -
🟢 ADVANCED: Pop (everything from the 80s to today), Urban (Hip Hop, LoFi, R&B, Neo Soul, Dancehall, Reggaeton), Schlager (and Ballermann), Electronic (Synthwave, Ambient), SoundCloud (Future Beats, Hyperpop, Breakcore, Phonk), Selected Dance Genres (Gen-Z Trance, Pop House, Nu Disco, French House, Eurodance, Tropical House, Italo Disco)
🟡 BEGINNERS: EDM (Mainstream House, Trance), Bass Music (Future Bass, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, EDM-Trap), Afrobeats, IDM
🔴 NOT AT ALL: Band Recordings (Rock, Pop-Rock, Metal, Jazz, Folk), Underground Dance Music (House, Techno, Psytrance)

- In which DAW does the lesson take place? -
I have worked professionally in FL Studio, Logic Pro, GarageBand and Ableton Live for years. If you want to learn these DAWs from scratch, you have come to the right place. But professional music is not created by the DAW, but by your knowledge of arrangement, sound design, composition, drum programming, mixing & co. That's why I also teach in Cubase, Reason, Pro Tools, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper... and many others. As long as you know the basics in one of these DAWs, I will show you everything you need.

- How does online mentoring work? -
If you are not in Berlin, we use Zoom for seamless collaboration. This allows you to easily and securely share your screen, mouse, keyboard and sound card output with me, as if we were working on your project together. Don't worry, before our first session you will receive a short guide from me to set everything up quickly. A few days beforehand we will check together again to make sure everything is working.

- What can I expect? -
Forget YouTube clickbait and secret "hacks." Success in music doesn't come from magic tricks, but from consistent practice. I don't offer quick shortcuts, but something much more valuable: individualized guidance, clear feedback, and a structured plan. Not every session will change your life—but the process as a whole will. Your success grows with your consistency. To enable such breakthroughs, I prefer students who are willing to invest in themselves on a regular basis.

🇬🇧 If German is not your native language, I am also happy to teach in English. 🇬🇧

About Me

I know what it's like to be stuck in the same place for months and ask yourself if you're even talented enough. And I know what it's like to be number one in the charts and people want your sound. As a music producer, mixing engineer and songwriter I've helped many stars realize their vision over the last 16+ years. At the same time I signed with Universal, learned about the business side as an A&R, completed a diploma in audio engineering at SAE and taught at the most prestigious educational institutions such as the Abbey Road Institute and the Akademie Deutsche POP. That's when I discovered my passion: helping aspiring producers realize their dreams with my mentoring program Fritz Hits (formerly TRAX)! In the last 10 years I've been able to systematically teach over 100 people how to quickly turn their own ideas into a great sound. Are you in?

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

Whether you're just starting out or refining your skills, the classes offer a structured approach that builds long-term progress.

In the first lesson, we’ll discuss your goals and current level of knowledge. We'll then tackle the specific technical challenges in your production process. I’ll help you develop a workflow that’s adaptable and can be continuously refined for future projects.

Cello is not just an orchestral or chamber music instrument! Learn modern styles and techniques of playing cello, whilst also building a strong traditional technique. This is a good class for students who already have some music training and wish to expand their knowledge into performative or production areas - such a using loopstation, sound design on the cello, finding your 'voice' as an artist. Or simply for those who wish to explore music outside of traditional genres - learn how cello is used in genres such as electronic music, pop music or rock!

This class is for all music enthusiasts, whether you’re just getting started and need a solid foundation or already experienced and looking to level up.
I'm a DJ and music production instructor with 15 years of experience, and the founder of DJ School Berlin. I also run my own label and organise events.
My classes take place in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and are fully focused on your needs and goals. I teach both fundamental concepts and creative techniques, while supporting you in the development of your artistic project

I also compose music for media (trailers, films, ads, games, etc) and perform live focusing on sound exploration and experimental performance.
This means we can absolutely work on different musical genres or more unconventional, creative approaches.

Passionate about dancefloor energy, it’s behind the decks and my machines that I feel most alive — and I truly love passing that on.
I perform regularly in Berlin in clubs such as Watergate, Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, RSO, Golden Gate, etc., as well as abroad, most recently in Belgrade, London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc.

Having worked in an artist management agency (Talent Scoot), I bring an added layer to the sessions — connecting technical skills with artistic vision, and helping you shape and push your artistic project forward

----

Sessions usually last 2 hours, and can take place face-to-face or online, solo or in a group.

. Group sessions (1-3) are friendly, less expensive, more dynamic in terms of learning and interesting because you get to observe another student correcting TPs or or discussing techniques, which leads to valuable insights.
. In 1-1 if you're more comfortable solo, and for more effective learning focused on you and your pace.

I'll give you the keys to :
- Get to grips with Ableton Live and set up an efficient workflow
- Understand sound structure and audio manipulation
- Compose your own tracks and develop your artistic identity
- Explore different types of synthesis and sound design
- Master the use of effects and audio processing
- Structure, arrange, and bring your ideas to life
- Learn mixing techniques and how to properly export your projects
- If you're already experienced, dive into advanced production techniques to refine your craft

I'll also accompany you and advise you on the purchase of your equipment/plugins/tools.

Classes take place either in my studio in Kreuzberg, equipped with 2 CDJs, 2 vinyl decks, workstation, synths, drum machines and controllers or online with screen sharing with dynamic practice, TPs and follow up.
They are a mix of theory and practice, and we also cover the values and precepts of this art form, giving you lots of pro tips and tricks, as well as creative goodies (VSTs, effects, personal racks)

Don't hesitate to contact me for more information, I can send you a detailed document explaining all aspects of the training, the techniques covered, as well as the essential theoretical knowledge. You'll develop a complete understanding of the material, learn how to tell your musical story, create, record, finish, export and share your work.

I am looking forward to playing music with you.
