About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting


Hi everyone,
My name is Simon and I'm a bassplayer from The Netherlands. On this MySpace you can check out the things I'm doing, musically speaking.
My biggest musical influences are:
* Jorn Lande
* Russell Allen
* Whitesnake
* Alter Bridge
* Billy Sheehan
* Thin Lizzy
* Paul Gilbert
* Glenn Hughes
* Nickelback
* Deep Purple
* Audioslave
* Rage Against The Machine
But also acts like:
* Marcus Miller
* Victor Wooten
* James Taylor
* Crosby Stills & Nash
* The Eagles
That list could be a lot longer, cause I like all kinds of music. From rock to pop, from westcoast folk to eastcoast metal, I like it as long as it grooves and has great sound.
You can contact me for various sorts of things; from recordingsessions to live performances, projects, bands...Anything is possible. So don't be afraid to sent me an e-mail. You'll always get something back.
Rock on,
Simon
