My parents were not musicians. I never really played an instrument, I can only play a little guitar and keyboard. But I learned to love music at the age of six, when I became a member of our church boys' choir, which sang mostly Bach works. I had a very good math teacher at school who explained to us the connection between music and math. After that, I quickly understood that almost everything (physics, chemistry, biology, even languages, art and literature) is based on math, but that music is the most beautiful form of math. And so I started making music - despite my technical deficits. But I then studied biology and computer science, got an academic degree in both and then got a doctorate in engineering. At the same time, I founded over a dozen companies, all of which are very successful in the fields of computer science. For me, music was always a moment to relax, away from the stress of everyday life. I love music. Music says more than a thousand words.
