About Me

I'm not a great singer, nor a fabulous musician, but I'm having fun!!! I write, play and record my own stuff. The song section will be renewed every couple of months!
I was born on november 25th 1966. My parents bought me an accoustic guitar at the age of seven, but it was too big for me to handle so I left it gathering dust for several years. Meanwhile I got hooked on music by a guy named Buddy Holly. Not an obvious choise in the seventies, but it made perfect sense to me: this guy was wearing geeky glasses and I was too at the time (child logic).
When I was about 16 I picked up my guitar again. Like most musicians I thought that playing an instrument would impress the girls, and it did! Unfortunately there's little use in being impressive on stage while the pretty girls are in the audience dancing with the 'less impressive guys'.
I have played in several bands, but nowadays I am back from where I once started: playing guitar in my room, writing songs and listening to guys like Buddy Holly. Oh .. and I managed to get the prettiest girl after all. Life can be sweet!
