About Me

I studied the electric bass with Michel Hatzigeorgiou as well as the doublebass with Jean-Louis Rassinfosse at the Royal Conservatory of Bruxelles. After finishing those studies i studied the jazz-doublebass at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague with Hein van der Geyn and Frans van der Hoeven and as a sidesubject classical bass with Roelof Meier.I did my master in Jazz-doublebass in the hague 2006 and during those studies an erasmus exchange program made me go to Barcelona for a year and study with Mario Rossy and Horacio Fumero at ESMUC ( Escole Superior de Musica de Catalunya). Besides being a sideman in many musical situations, one of my main musical projects at the moment is my duo with the portuguese singer Sofia Ribeiro.This duo released its first CD DANCA DA SOLIDAO in january 2006 and since then is extremely active performing all over Europe. My other main project is my 4tet with the same singer, the Marc Demuth 4tet feat. Sofia Ribeiro, project which will release its first CD at the end of the year.The band members are from Luxemburg, Belgium and Portugal and the music orients towards own compositions in a modern 'even eight' jazz style. I play also on the first CD of the luxemburgish singer Sascha Ley, TRAVELLING LIGHT, which was released in January this year. The Marc Demuth 4tet feat. Sofia Ribeiro released its first CD ORIK in January 2008. I am also recently the head of the Jazz department of the music school of Echternach and I teach acoustic bass, electric bass as well as Jazz-combo.
