About Me

Okay here is just a little story about myself:I started playing the guitar when I was 14 years old. Before I started playing the guitar my biggest hobby was listening to music. I started with playing the blues and music of artists and bands like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Later on jazz and more experimental music like lounge, jazzstep and acid jazz came in my life. I just love music in general so I don’t like a special genre, I’m into all music. The thing I like doing most in music is improvising. My opinion is that only if you are improvising you're really making music. You have to come up with what you want to play and play it that very moment, you have to listen to the people you're playing with, and you're showing how you are feeling a that moment.you're opening your heart tot the puplic.At the moment I'm playing in two bands: Soul Inclusive and The Mondays. Both of my bands are jazz orientated. In Soul Inclusive we write our own music, with the Mondays we are playing music of bands like Soft machine, Herbie Hancock, Jan Akkerman, Marcus Miller and Standards in our own way.So Music is my life. I just live music!!!(Check out my bands, I know you will like them)
