About Me

I started out as a busker (I still am ocassionally). I was involved with a couple of antwerp bands in the nineties, most notably Kiss My Jazz, and fronted a couple of my own. After a selfimposed exile to a community of five hundred inbreds which lasted way too long, I have now returned to a slightly larger community : Antwerp. Most people still look like inbreds though. These days I'm mainly involved with POX (see friends), and occasionally appear as guest vocalist in friends' bands. I've been trying to market myself as a guitarist, but there's just to many great ones around in Antwerp. So I've reconciled myself ... I'm a singer/songwriter.

A change of key

I deleted the acoustic songs, left the Plank ones and uploaded some instrumental tracks. This stuff is pretty much like what I, and many others I am sure, used to do using two tape-reco...
