Christoph Helm

I am an Austrian based guitar player, composer, arranger and teacher. Starting out as an autodidact rock and blues guitarist in my teenage years, I eventually enrolled at the Konservatorium der Stadt Wien (now MUK) where I discovered my love for jazz and improvised music. Adding this perspective has enriched my playing and gives me the creative freedom to realize my musical vision. I love to work in a wide array of stylistic environments – adapting to the specifics of a genre while always adding my own voice to the result.

In addition to my studies I've taken lessons and masterclasses by Harry Pepl, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Mick Goodrick, Tuck Andress, Jonathan Kreisberg, John Stowell, Rick Margitza, Gilad Hekselman, Ari Hoenig and others to keep myself hungry for knowledge and constant progress as a musician, artist and teacher. My goal is to never stop learning and improving, and I'm having a ton of fun doing so!
