Unul dintre varfurile generatiei sale, s-a nascut la 11 septembrie 1982 la Bucuresti, intr-o familie cu traditii muzicale. De altfel, primele lectii de pian i-au fost predate de tatal sau, celebrul Nicolae Licaret, pentru ca mai apoi sa aprofundeze studiul acestui instrument in cadrul Universitatii Nationale de Muzica din Bucuresti, unde i-a avut mentori pe Dana Borsan, Viniciu Moroianu si Dan Dediu, cu ultimul abordand compozitia.
In paralel cu studiile la Conservatorul bucurestean, dar si dupa finalizarea acestora, s-a perfectionat la alte prestigioase institutii muzicale europene precum Universitatea “Mozarteum” din Salzburg sau Universitatea “Peabody” din Baltimore.
Laureat al multor concursuri prestigioase, din care pot fi amintite Concursul de pian “Yamaha”, Concursul International “Jeunesses Musicales” sau Concursul International “Lory Wallfisch”, si-a inceput de timpuriu activitatea concertistica, avand deja numeroase aparitii pe scene de prima marime din tara si din strainatate, atat in recitaluri cat si alaturi de orchestre prestigioase aflate sub bagheta unor dirijori ca Horia Andreescu, Jin Wang, Cristian Mandeal, Arie Vardi s.a.
Apreciat deopotriva de public si de specialisti, tanarul pianist abordeaza un repertoriu vast si complex ce l-a impus deja in lumea muzicala si il plaseaza printre muzicienii cu reale posibilitati de realizarea a unei cariere deosebite.
