About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI started with BASSTANK about 6 Years ago (2000). Influenced by different music-styles like metal, jazz, funk and electronic music i try to combine all these styles into one in my music. I really love to play bass and music is my life. In the moment i try to record some new songs for the debut-album "NAPALM JAZZ", which i will hopefully get finished this year ( 2007 ).
I'm always interested in new music and it is awesome how much cool people you can meet here at myspace.
