Artist Biography

When I first had piano lessons at the age of 10 I absolutely hated it, especially if I couldn't perfect a rather simple piano piece I had been set to learn by my teacher. I only started to appreciate the piano when I realised I could create my own music. I carried on with the lessons though but what I really enjoyed was spending time on my Yamaha Digital Piano which allowed me to record my own piano creations and add other instrumental layers.

After school I joined a band and after several years we evolved into an electronic rock band which involved me having a digital piano, Synth and midi keyboard on stage.

I left the UK and the band in 2013 to travel and explore parts of Europe in my camper van.

I eventually settled in the snow covered Austrian mountains and as luck would have it; I gained access to some recording equipment and a Digital Piano. I was inspired to finally finish and record some of my piano and string compositions. In early 2014 I released an album called 'Aberg Piano Works'. This album got me into the top 10 of the Euro Music contest 2014, out of over 3200 entries I was chosen to play in the live final held in Paris.

In the future I hope to record more of my piano compositions with a real live string orchestra.
