About Me

Hey there little big world!
I am a musician (guitars/keys/vocals) with a great interest in combining different genres of music to create something completely new and wicked while staying true to my little, yet warm Metal heart... The best way to call my music would be 'Experimetal' :-) I've only recently begun to explore and compose different genres of music, so it's pretty exciting knowing there's a lot more to be learned. Anyway, enjoy this little page!
The projects I am currently involved in as a lead guitarist are:
- "EPSYLON", a female fronted Power/Melodic metalband. After leaving our former project behind, we wanted to keep creating the music that the previous band was supposed to stand for. But due to musical differences, the only way to continue doing what we loved doing best, was to go on under a different name. But the music, ofcourse, remains the same.
(Check out the official myspace at www.myspace.com/epsylonmusic) and our official website at www.epsylon-music.com
-Rock/Country/Desert coverband
"THE EX-RATED" This band, formerly known as 'The X-Rated Drunkies', (we got more or less sober in the meanwhile) is all about what making music should be about. Great fun, great musicians, great friends. If you're looking for a band to spice up your night, look no further and be sure to contact us!
(Check out the official myspace at www.myspace.com/theexrated)
In short, I love to compose, play and listen to music!
Stay Metal! ;-)
