About Me

I should feel stupid saying this, a little dramatic honestly, but next to some amazing people in my life, MUSIC is above anything what makes me feel vibrant, feeds my soul and completes me. I've tried abandoning it, but it will always come find me again. As long as my voice and music moves at least someone I'll keep going, it's an addiction of some sort, although not allconsuming in the same way it once used to be. I spend quite a bit of time with my guitar, she's carried me through rough patches and joined me in many happy moments.That being said, friends are essential to my wellbeing, I'm no loner at all. I have endless amounts of tolerance, compassion and heart for my family, the one I might love and my friends, people I choose with care, people I'll always find time for and never take for granted. Life's too short and valuable to waste on people or things that drain you on a regular basis. Days off are good for writing music, looking up small concertvenues, discovering new bands, meeting old friends and making new ones, drinking cold beers on my balcony or kicking someone's ass in tennis. I do try to spend time with my inner geek too, she's a vivid part of me, she's the reason friends call me when they need someone to answer nerdy questions noone bothers knowing the answer to, except maybe me...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Openminded musiclovers and songwriters with an exquisite sense of humour, even if you're the only one who thinks you're funny... I'm mainly here for music, to discover new music and follow musicians I already listen to and enjoy, occasionally sharing stories with these. Open to all styles of music, it's inspiring that so many of you are creating something of your own.

Honestly, I don't care who's wrong or right...

and I certainly don't care if this sounds uneducated and ignorant. I'm not claiming that I have great insight in the issue at hand, but it's not like governments around are making wellinformed and wis...

Introducing baby Sam
