Linus was born in Graz, Austria, and moved to Berlin, Germany, with his parents shorty before his second birthday. Here he attends an International School. He started studying the piano with four and was a finalist of the renowned international Steinway Piano Competition in Hamburg, Germany, in the age of ten. He is dedicated to meteorology and was invited to participate in the German TV show "Klein gegen Gross" in 2013 to compete against a professional meteorologist (Linus won). During this show he had the chance to meet Lang Lang - the next reunion will be during the concert "Lang Lang and the 100 pianists" in Amsterdam, when both will be on the stage together.
