About me:

I have a master’s degree in medical physics and firmly believe that anyone can be creative, regardless of their background. I have been making videos since I was a kid, starting without a camera, drawing pictures in Paint and animating them in Windows Movie Maker. Since then, I have attended courses, read books, and analyzed creators and films for years to craft my skills.

Today, I work at Maha Studio, a professional German YouTube company, creating and editing high-quality videos.

🎵 If you are interested in the Music I use 🎵:

I used to doubt it for months, here were my 3 doubts:

1. Is the music really that much better? -> YES, seriously

2. Having the songs separated by stems, is it that useful? -> Definitely, removing the voices and having the instrumental is one of many uses I get.

3. What if I want to stop? What happens to the videos that were already posted? -> No worries at all! In case you want to actually stop, any videos that were already posted, still become copyright free.

I have one regret and it was that I didn't start using Epidemic Sound earlier. Not only because I developed later music editing skills, but also that the quality really did improve afterwards.
