Silke Pianist from Los Angeles, CA

My story of life is my passion for music. I started playing piano at a very young age, and quickly discovered that music is my world. After winning several national and international piano awards I received a scholarship by the age of thirteen and became a student at the prestigious University of Music and Performing Arts in Munich, Germany. While working for television directors asked me, if I could write music for their films, and that's when I began composing. It was then that I realized, "Music and movies…this is for me". After moving to Los Angeles I also started working as a pianist and musical director at AMDA- Los Angeles (College and Conservatory of the Performing Arts) and USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance and became a member of the Television Academy, The Emmys. Music is a gift that was given to me. It is a source that will always be there for me. I am very thankful for that gift.
