About Me

Been doing music since birth it feels like, grown up with both classical and more modern music, spent 8 years in London and while there did some recordings and played venues like west14 and the 12bar club in the west end. Now why does music means so much to me:Im a great believer in lyrics in music, and how you deliver them, my favourite lyric is a verse from John Lennon's "Working class hero": "Theres room at the top theyre telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill, if you wanna be like the folks on the hill, a working class hero is something to be, If you wanna be a hero then just follow me". Amazing, beat that. Music is suppose to make a difference, both with melody and rhythm and not forgetting the words, how it can have a strong and powerful impact. Thats why music inspires me.
