Animenz has won many prizes from various piano competitions in Germany, with his classical music studies culminating at a music conservatory. He has gained an illustrious reputation for his arranging style, which mixes classical music and Japanese anime music. 

In 2010, Animenz uploaded his first piano video on YouTube, and this year marks the 13th anniversary of his channel. His most popular video “unravel” has reached over 90 million views, which is phenomenal for a solo piano video.

Animenz moved from Germany to Japan in 2019 to broaden his perspective of Japanese anime and pop music culture. In 2021, he published the long-awaited Animenz Piano Sheet Music Books in cooperation with Yamaha Music Media.
