About Me

Hello there, nice to meet u...a little about me.I started studying classical guitar in Jakarta at age 14 and listened to a lot of metal, ie Sabbath, Priest, Ozzy, and most importantly, Jimi Hendrix got me into Blues, which until now I can't stop playing every time I pick up a guitar. In Australia I played in African and Reggae bands, an experience which helped me to further understand popular modern American music. I went back to Indonesia to soak up West Javanese (Sundanese) music and, shortly afterwards, started a stint as a Video Jockey with MTV Asia which lasted over six excrutiating years. I almost died from over-exposure to Boy Bands! I moved to Discovery Channel for a while and did a music-based travel show called "Sync or Swim" - which is why I now frequently find myself singing in Mongolian in the shower!It was during my time at MTV that I started to try and write some songs of my own in an attempt to make up for some of the rubbish I was presenting on screen. Recently I returned to Indonesia and recorded some of my songs at the modest bedroom studio of my friend Hendra ( of "Rock 'n Roll Mafia") in the city of Bandung. I also did a song, "Wonderful Day", with DJ Sumantri in Jakarta and one with my friend Ade Habibie, "It's Coming Our Way".Thanks for visiting my My Space. Hope you enjoy the songs - there's many more on the way!P.S. Did I forget to mention that I managed to get married and we have a wonderful son. Son 2 expected in June. Family rocks!
