About Me
This is the story so far:
Born in California, USA, at the age of 0, recorded the 'Spiderman' theme song when I was 3, moved to Puebla, Mexico at the age of 4, broke my leg on my first (and last) skiing lesson, watched a lot of American TV so I wouldn't forget my English, survived puberty, Dungeons and Dragons and Nintendo, discovered Genesis, Progressive Rock and drums, destroyed every lamp in the house, got a drumkit on my 16th Christmas, met Alejandro Lofig and formed a band, played lots of gigs, gained lots of stage experience, got a 2nd place in a band competition, discovered I could sing, learned guitar, joined a church choir, quit the band, bought some gear, played succesfully as a one man show for a few years in Puebla, moved to Cancun instead of going to University, got a regular gig in 3 days, worked the downtown local scene, discovered Marillion , became the house performer at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville , discovered CouchSurfing, couchsurfed around Europe for a year, got interviewed in Polish television, played in street corners, lived in a truck for a few days, followed my favourite band through all of their tour and got to meet them several times, flew back to Cancun, got a puppy, missed Europe, quit Margaritaville again, sold all my earthly belogings, flew back to Europe, lived in Rotterdam with 2 great roommates, fell in love, celebrated my first snowy Christmas, did a mini-tour with fellow CouchSurfers through the Netherlands, Austria and the Czech Republic, was a Layer for a day, figured that Finland was the best country I'd ever been to, and managed to get a visa to stay.
Music is my life, and I love performing. So, if you visit Helsinki, you have a good chance to find me playing on a street corner, in a local pub, or at your friend's party. Come and say hi.
