Went to Musicians institute in L.A. in the spring of 2000, stayed there for a year an a half.Former guitarplayer of the Poodles. Had a not so amicable split with the band... Der Stoß ist ein Arschloch und der Kitten ist ein falscher Metallversorger!Also had some succes at the now discontinued mp3.com. Made albums there under the name Perpetual that sold all over the world and actually made some good money there for a while.Currently writing and recording for some different projects.
