About Me
First playing the piano at 7, Aron quickly saw the possibilities this instrument could bring him. While first only playing popular and classical music, he got introduced to the world of jazz music during the corona pandemic. Not knowing what to do at first after graduating high school, he quickly discovered that you could study jazz piano. This drew him towards ArtEZ University of the Arts where he started his jazz piano bachelor in 2023.
At ArtEZ, Aron is following a wide array of classes and is being tought by his main subject teachers Jeroen van Vliet and Henrique Gomide, while also enjoying classes by teachers such as Jasper Somsen, Tijs Klaassen and Mete Erker, each successful artists with careers in the international jazz scene. Externaly, Aron has been tought by the likes of Stefan Schöler, Bert van den Brink, Richárd Révész
During his study, Aron has come across multiple genres and crossovers with jazz music and has become familiar with any style covering the modern repertoire today. This deep dive into the broad world of modern day and improvisational music genres also brought him across a variety of different keyboard instruments, such as the rhodes and various synthesizers. Aron is currently a proud owner of a Korg Prologue and Yamaha DX7!
In the first year of his study, Aron co-founded the band Breakfast Jam with fellow classmates. What started as an opportunistic christmas market band, quickly grew into a hiphop-jazz band performing original songs across multiple venues in the Netherlands and Germany. During winter season, they can still be spotted at a christmas market here and there. Breakfast Jam is currently in the studio, working on recording their first EP.

Arons latest passion project resulted in a fresh jazz combo called Headquarters, a jazz quartet including Julian Steineker (guitar), Carl Olbrich (upright bass) and Jack Beckhuis (drums). Inspired by artists such as Brad Mehldau and Kurt Rosenwinkel, they play original compositions which connect innovative sound, grounded tradition and contemporary textures.
