Some may describe his style as "Celtic Finger Style Guitar", but there have been elements of other musical genres which have influenced his playing, such as classical and jazz.

Although most of the instruments Jens plays were self taught, he did study classical guitar and church organ in Cologne. During this period he became more and more enthralled by Irish Music but also became involved in the local jazz scene, and it was this combination of circumstances that lead him to develop the style that he plays today.Jens has been involved in many projects both on stage and in the recording studio not only in Germany, but throughout Europe. These include groups such as Iontach, Limerick Junction and Lá Lugh and with solo artists such as Reinhard Mey, Gerry O'Connor, Brendan Power, Allan Taylor, Tom McConville, Helmut Debus, Siobhán Kennedy, Brian McNamara, Brendan McGlinchey, Mick O'Brien, Peter Kerlin, Frank Bode and Siobhán Kennedy.

In 2012 Jens became the first and only German musician ever to win the "All Ireland Championships", not only once, but twice, both as a solist and an accompanist.

Jens also teaches guitar, bouzouki and tin-whistle at various workshops throughout the country and abroad.
