Sure, he can talk. But is he saying anything?

About Me


Ola muchachos! My name is Edo and I'm a musician from The Hague in The Netherlands.
I spent the better part of the last twenty years trying to figure out how the play and write music. Began on the guitar in '86, took private lessons for 5 years and then continued learning on my own. I never set any boundaries for myself as far as styles or genres go: I like everything and aspire to learn as much music as is possible without hurting myself. Also play bass guitar on the side and a little bit of drums as well. Mid 90s my interests shifted to composition and songwriting.
I've played in numerous bands in the area of The Hague (most notably Plankton, Cheap Purple, Jambone and The Saturnine) and had the good fortune to be affiliated with a number of very talented musicians. Most recently I joined Kingfisher Sky .
Other than that, I'm the administrator of the Bumbleforum , the official forum of my friend Ron Thal . For more of my "music", please check this page.
