About Me

welcome. i don't know exactly why or what for, but this seems like a really good place to present my music. so, this is my music. i hope you will like it.
chances are you know me as guitarist/songwriter for in 't wild . in the last year or so (2006) i have slowly moved from writing for the band to writing as such. meanwhile the band has decided to go back to covering songs and not to further pursue world domination with our own stuff. during my time writing with edwin for in 't wild he did most of the writing of lyrics, with me writing about 1 songlyric a year. now i am forcing myself to finish lyrics. also i am trying to figure out the basics of recording, using my very basic home setup. the plan is to write [and finish...] more in the months to come. other than that, i don't have a specific plan where this will lead to, but i will keep you posted.
anyway, these are demos of my songs. i am not a singer. and i am still learning what makes a song. as of now, i am not doing solo gigs, only in 't wild gigs. and yes, the language you don't understand is indeed dutch.
oh, and i run the mike keneally band tour chronology .
that's all. as you were.
