Minor coverage from local press. Only international mention is of subject’s death on the Slipped Disc blog, which typically is something of an obituary feed for all kinds of classical artists, regardless of notability. Does not meet threshold of WP:MUSICBIO. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:51, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete not nearly enough sourcing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability per WP:NMUSIC #8 is not just automatically bestowed on every winner of every single music competition that exists — the extent to which any award is notable enough to make its winners notable for winning it depends precisely on the extent to which that award does or doesn't get covered by the media. In other words, you need to source his winning of an award to journalist-written content reporting the award win as news, not just to the award's own self-published content about itself. But there's no other notability claim being made here at all, and no reliable sourcing shown to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to have a stronger notability claim.
