About Me

Hi, it's great you're here.

Wanna get some facts about me? Here they are:

I am a guitarist [duh]. After years of playing in all those punk rock, heavy metal, reaggae, ska, indie, you-name-it stuff I came to a point where I needed more.

Most of us finally do :)

I've found that what I am really into is heavy funk (or funk rock if you will) with taste of blues rock and very little fusion. Just a tiny bit.

Now I am the lead guitarist in my funk rock band called Funklab.

So far I collaborated with many other bands and musicians in Suwalki and Warsaw. Sometimes I perform at local jam sessions in clubs like Mandala or Mono. Lately, along with the bassist, I am focused on composing and arranging songs for the band.

You can see some of my influences in the left column. But to be precise - I am mostly influenced by: Kenny Wayne Shepherd - those looong blues solos Nuno Bettencourt - rhythmic patterns and funky-chunky playing style Scott Henderson - phrasing and blues licks

I am also impressed by: Zakk Wylde - great musician overall Stevie Ray Vaughan - this is the House of Blues for me Mike Stern - so complicated, yet so easy to listen John Petrucci - fast, huh? Waldemar Lewandowski - the best fusion guitarist I know in person

Oh... and I am not a student of the Jazz and Contemporary Music School in Warsaw :)
