Hannes Kindhäuser studied psychology, music, and English in Würzburg, Germany.
Having begun piano and cello lessons at a very young age, Hannes participated in Jugend musiziert (a nationwide competition for young musicians) many times during his childhood and was awarded several prizes at state and national level. He already performed as a solo artist in his youth, playing in concerts with an orchestra project in Belgium and Poland.
