About Me


Biography:
Sunday 04-03-1979
Born in Alicante, Espana. Moved to the Netherlands after one year and lived here until now. The first encounter with a guitar was when somebody gave me an old Spanish guitar when I was about 7. Immediately I felt in love with this instrument. After attending some guitar lessons and getting bored of playing House of the Rising Sun all the time I decided to teach myself. Shortly after this I composed my first song, called "The Spanish Walls" This song existed out of a few notes though I was very proud of it.
When I was a teenager in the early nineties hip-hop music started to take of all over the world and I loved the upcoming 2-pac and Snoop. I was listening to this music too much and also wrote my own lyrics. Around this time I forgot about my guitar until I discovered the Blues.
I grew up with a family that was in to the Blues and world music like African. After my hip-hop rage at the age of 17 I really started to love this music. Especially the Blues. After hearing a lot of different Blues styles and artists I started to pick up my guitar again to imitate the great blues legends. Then I started to compose my own blues songs. I still play the blues with a band called "Out of the Blue" This band consist out of friends with whom I share the same passion for this music (see You Tube-example below).
Around the age of 26 I needed to write more songs of my own in order to fully express my feelings and everything that I wanted to say with my music. If I have to describe my solo-repertoire it would be a combination of pop, blues and sometimes hip-hop. I carefully started to share my songs with rest of the world and since June 2008 I’m regularly performing as a singer/songwriter across the country in theatres, cafes and several festivals.
This year I will hit the studio to record my first EP...
