About Me

i'm a guitarplayer, producer and songwriter. trained in jazz, grown up on rock & roll and the beatles. used to have two bands, variomatic and amigos electricos, which sadly didn't survive. also played with supersub. i used to play guitar for shane shu, who's album i produced. now working on a new shane shu album and playing for zuco 103 and the lefties soul connection. great fun! during the day i'm keeping myself occupied trying to make hits. also toying with the idea of forming the funkiest band ever, but have yet to work out the specifics...
