What is the project goal and who is the project for?
All of the songs were written over the course of the last five years and have been my faithful companions in all walks of life ever since.

Primary sustainable development goal

Peace
Why does this project contribute to this goal?
With my music I want to contribute to peace and balance in the world. It provides a valuable, cultural contribution in dialogue and daily interaction and provides the framework for encounters.
In addition, I would like to collect donations for disadvantaged children with the jewelry I make myself from recycled guitar strings, giving them the opportunity to take part in music lessons and learn an instrument.
