About Me

I am a guitarist/drummer/bassist/singer/ engineer/producer/actor. I play guitar in a band that is indeed called urban fetch , and i play piano/moog/congas/auxilary guitar in a band called ambition free . Making music is my life and I will always do it. I enjoy hiking in the wilderness, playing tennis, going out to hear live music, reading... I'm not a religious person, but I am very much spiritual. I've been doing a lot of reading on the physics of consciousness. I've got a lot of shortcomings just like everyone else, but I'm aware of a lot of them and I'm working on them. I don't think I'll ever be perfect, but I can certainly reach for it.
