About Me

I am a musician. I love and am inspired by folk, blues, jazz, rock, soul, reggae, world-music, country...as long as it is from charismatic, unique artists. I play acoustic and electric (slide-)guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, harp and of course I am singing my songs. I was a student at Musicians Institute, Hollywood, U.S.A and played at the battle of the bands contest of the school.
