About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Pretty White Liliez

Simon is my name, I play the piano and I also work as a musicteacher in Göteborg (Kungälv). I was born in Jakarta but raised in Sundsvall, the northern part of Sweden... surrounded by nature and cows. In the year of 2000 I moved to Göteborg to study music at the "Göteborgs Musikhögskola", and after that I moved to Köln to study jazzpiano with Prof. John Taylor. Since 2006, I'm back in Göteborg again, playing (jazz&other)music with different groups and friends. I hope you´ll have a great time here at my site. Viel Spaß!
