About Me

I've always had a guitar around, even when I was a child, but never really got into playing it untill I was 18 and moved to Ghent. I have been a drummer all my life and started to play in a band "Kinky Wool". At the same time I started to write songs and taught myself to play the guitar with a gigantic book that had all the lyrics and chords to all Beatles songs. I also learned from playing the Beatles' songs that you have to be free with everything when you're writing music. This is probably why I write songs in very different genres and styles. Eventually I would love to make an album. Listen to these few tracks and let me know what you think.Peace and Love to you all...“Voeten op de grond, ongebonden en vrij van alles en iedereen.” Met die gedachte in het achterhoofd schrijf en speel ik al zes jaar mijn eigen muziek. Vandaar dat de liedjes heel verschillend zijn in genre, onderwerp en sfeer. Het ene moment in een dylaneske song, om via “Early Beatles” enthousiasme over te gaan naar een Randy-Newman-ironie. Ik hoop dat mijn liedjes dienen als raampjes van 3-5 minuten die uitkijken op een bepaald aspect van mezelf dat me maakt wie ik ben. Op die manier valt er altijd heel veel van mezelf te ontdekken in mijn muziek.
