​Born in a little town in Austria, Manuel started learning drums at the age of 5. It quickly became clear that his talent was sufficient for a professional music career, which he had been working towards since his youth. At the age of 14 he began a pre-university course at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory, where he  later started studying and graduated with a total of 3 degrees on the drums.

​

During his time at Conservatory, Manuel already played with several Austrian acts and projects all around the country. 

​

In November 2023 Manuel moved to London to establish himself in the international music scene. He succeeded very quickly and soon performed with various bands and projects around the UK and abroad.

​

Manuel is currently the drummer for ABBA Voyage at the ABBA Arena in London.
