Jonas grew up in a family where each of the 4 children learned to play an instrument at a young age. Like many elementary school children, he first learned the recorder. As a secondary instrument he received flute lessons for several years. At the age of 13 he discovered his love for the piano. On YouTube he learned his first song "Unfaithful" by Rihanna through a "How to play" tutorial. After proudly showing this to his parents, he learned other songs based on the same principle. Family and friends were surprised that he was able to play songs on the piano quite quickly without receiving much lessons. His parents supported him in his talents, so that he received piano lessons. But only 1 year because he did not enjoy learning songs consistently from sheet music.

 

His passion was shown early on in "free piano playing". He just loves to improvise on the piano and compose new melodies. At the age of 12 Jonas switched to the Goethe-Gymnasium, which offered a branch of music and art. In a music class he learned to play in an orchestra. Although his first instrument was the flute, he preferred to play the piano on musical evenings. Together with a few school friends, he founded an school club to try out his compositions with various instruments such as saxophone, violin, cello and bass. For this he got the official approval of the school management and has reserved a classroom. His dream was to write a musical and to rehearse for it. The interest of the classmates was lost, however, so that this project quickly dissolved.

 

For him, music has always been a hobby and he could never imagine studying music. The reason was not to depend on music for his financial situation. Jonas feared that the beauty of making music would be lost if you were financially dependent on it. So he began his studies at the Technical University in Darmstadt as an industrial engineer, which he would like to complete.

 

In spring 2020 his enthusiasm for intensifying music came to light. Due to the corona pandemic, he sometimes practiced up to 8-10 hours a day. Many new compositions were created as a result. Jonas has started to give balcony concerts to make the neighbors happy with his music. The feedback was so immensely positive that 10 balcony concerts were held within a short time. Throughout the summer, Jonas gave more than 20 concerts at Alsbach Castle.

 

This year it became clear to him that music is always with him in some way, whether professionally or as a hobby.
