About Me

Hello everybody and thanks for visiting my little crib at MySpace. Here you can find my live dates and a few sound samples. All of the recordings uploaded here are my original compositions. You can also find some biographical info and pics. A few words about me: I was born in 1986 in Tallinn, Estonia. The Baltic country situated most north, just 80 km from the boarder of Finland. I started out playing on electric bass and 3 years later switched to double bass. From September 2006 to 2008 I studied full-time in Stadia Ammattikorkeakoulu Pop/Jazz music department in Helsinki, Finland. From September 2008 I'm starting my studies at the Jazz department of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater. For the last two years I've been honored to play with some of the best Estonian musicians throughout the venues across Estonia. I also received Grand Prix at the annual "Sony Jazz Stage" competition, held in Riga, for the best jazz bassist category in March 2006. Today my main instrument remains double bass and I continue my humble pursuit to play and write music.
