1967-1975 I started to create tunes from the age of six. Using my toy instruments or the home piano I always felt a need to create my own tunes. When I was 14 I changed the nylon chords of my classical guitar for steel ones. I bought the Beatles Complete and learned to play any song in that book within the following 6 months. Now I knew a lot of chords on the guitar and I was ready to go for my own journey of songwriting. 1976-1988 From the age of 15 I joined schoolbands, I wrote almost all the songs of these bands and played the leadguitar. When I was 18 I lost one of my best friends who was a brillant piano player in an accident, I bought all his keyboards (among which a Rhodes 73 stage piano) and started to write my songs on the piano. I started doing concerts on my own (one man, one piano, one voice), wrote music for theater and finally got again involved in playing in bands (merely psychedelic music). 1988-2003 I listened a lot to jazz and I have tried to play it without succes :-(. I bought a 4 track and again jumped into songwriting. Later I worked with sequencing and even performed a couple of times live with my computer. 2003 By the end 2003 I finally connected again with playing music in a band. With a couple of friends we had weekly jam sessions which stimulated a lot my imporvisation skills. 2005/2006 I worked almost one year with a dancer creating performances based on improvisation (dance/piano). Actually I make some music with african friends and continue my endless journey of writing songs...
