His debut album Moments of Resonance (Kryptox, 2019) presents a fusion of modern classical and electronic influences, establishing Heidel as a skilled researcher of both analog and digital sound concepts.
Heidel's compositional abilities also extend to theater, where he has created works for renowned institutions like the Berliner Ensemble, the Volksbühne Berlin, and the Volkstheater München. Additionally, he works as an arranger, producer, composer, and instrumentalist for other artists.

He was then offered the position of musical director for Casper, and since the spring of 2022, Heidel has been touring as M.D. for him.
