I started making music in 1967 at age twelve playing guitar.
That's when I got infected with "the virus" and together with Andries Eleveld we started our first band Matchstick Men.
Mentored by Danny and Diederick Benjaminsz from local band The Concords we even played a couple of real gigs.
In 1977 Ronald Boer pointed my attention to playing synthesizer in his band Mushroom Cloud and my first synth was the Korg 700s.
Played many gigs/sessions and turned to the guitar again by the end of 81. Untill in 1983 Hans Tieman got me interested in playing synthesizers again.
I played in Zipper, Het Apenkoor, Pete Lovell and the Pressure, Sundancer, and Atomic Foot besides a lot of other musical activities.
Also bandcoached for teens and psychiatric patients.
At the end of 1999 Prinz Dré dropped my phoney to Roxy Music tributeband add for a keyboardplayer in
Re-make/Re-model and I picked up covering "tribute style"
At the moment making and performing original new tracks with
Dr Goldklang and it's as exciting as it ever was.......
