Jannik was born in 2000 in Homburg, Germany. His passion for audio began with music production as a hobby, where he quickly developed a deeper interest in the technical and engineering side of sound. Over time, this fascination evolved into a strong focus on sound design, especially creature sound design inspired by iconic characters such as the Xenomorph from Alien and the idea of bringing fictional beings to life through sound.

He studied Audio Engineering at SAE Frankfurt, graduating in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts First Class Honours degree. During the final phase of his studies, he joined Dynamedion and BOOM Library in 2021, where he has since been working primarily as a sound designer and recordist. During that time, he gained extensive experience in creature sound design, creature voice acting, as well as prop and animal recordings.

Throughout his career he has contributed to projects such as Saros, Silent Hill: Townfall and Helldivers 2 through work commissioned by Arrival.
