I'm all ears if you listen too...and if you add me put on a comment, so i see you're there

About Me

All the music in me pushed me into getting independent with a very nice and alternative recordshop DOCTOR VINYL in the center of our conservative town Bruges. With a passionate drive i built up a colourfull crowd of friends and clients during nearly 15 years. Big hug and thanks to all of you reading this dudes!!! Due to a lot of factors, but mainly internet and the 'download for free'-mentality, i had to close my cabinet in 2004 and this broke a lot of things in me. KILLED BY INTERNET! Playing guitar in a band called RED ZEBRA for 13 years was the biggest consolation and the friendship i felt with these guys helped me a lot to overbridge my hardest naileating moments after the crash of my musical world. The big support of my beautiful wife Veerle and lovely daughter Shanna was also a huge solace... I roamed around in different dayjobs for about 2 years without using the most of my brain till the CACTUS concerts-crew asked me if i would like to work with them as a production manager for all of their wonderful as obstinate concerts and festivals. So after all this sorrow i can say i feel like a refocused man and, even if i had to switch off my guitars in RED ZEBRA, feel to be the happiest man in the universe again ***UPCOMING IN CACTUSCLUB@MAZ BRUGES BELGIUM
