About Me

Once I saw some light at the end of a tunnel...It came closer and closer...guess what...I WAS FUCKIN' BORN! Hell ya!

As a kid two things kept me busy, music and this fuckin' mad world. I grew up with a broad range of different styles of music thanks to my dad's record collection. And as a teenager I dreamed of being in a band. I started to write songs and poems. At the end of the eighties a friend asked me to join a band, Twist Of Fate. It took some years before the line-up was definite and finally in 1996 the EP ‘Wicked Mental Dope’ was released, a strange mixture of rock and metal. The band split up at the end of the millennium.

The last few years I did some vocals on dance tracks by Dennis M. (which in the end were never released) and on occasion I am a member of ‘Verbal Kint’, a dance/lounge/electro-act also from Rotterdam. Recently I came in contact (thanks Alpha!) with 'DARK ROSES', ex-members of 3rd Eye and Saviour. Keep your eyes on us, we will smash your hometown soon with our dirty rotten metal!

Meanwhile I graduated from Leiden University as a Master in History in 2006. And this April my first article on the origins of modern counterinsurgency has been published in 'Leidschrift'. Currently I am working on a novel.
