About Me

Welcome to my Space !!!

Hello and Welcome to my Space. I am a guitartalent from Switzerland focusing in progressive Rock and Metal. After I started playing guitar with 16 I soon knew that I like fast and progressive playing and of course big time Songs. I was a huge Slash fan in the beginning. But these days I discovered Metallicas Black album and I joined a local Band playing Songs in the Style of Metallica and Megadeth. In 1999 I became a recording professional and started to see music from the Production side of view. Missing my bandlife I was thinking about my own band Project but it took until 2005 when I met MÃ¤ni "Earthquake" Senn at my Coworkers House and all of a sudden we started writing Songs and started with gigs and Production. Now we moved to Los Angeles to study at the famous musicians Institute to make Edenexpress happening Bigtime. I am studying with the Shredmaster Greg Harrison, who learned some of his Chops directly with Paul Gilbert. He is an amazing Shredtalent and you should check him out for sure! I am learning so much about Guitarplaying here, that it's hard to absorb it all at one time. But I am addicted to my Fretboard and so I'll swallow as much as I can.
