I am a guitar player, songwriter and producer. I was born in 1979 and I picked up the guitar when I was 9. Later on I went to study jazz guitar in Germany and in the Netherlands and finished the Master Programme at HKA (Arnhem, NL) in 2007. I perform live, write and work in the studio with different formations.
Besides working as a performer and producer, I also work as a guitar and bass instructor and bandcoach. During the last 10 years I have taught in several public and private music schools, instructed private students and given band workshops in Germany and the Netherlands.
Have fun surfin' the site!
Back in high school I involved myself in music as much as I could, from the school’s Jazz Big Band to rock & pop cover-bands. During my studies I developed a deep appreciation for traditional jazz music, I was fascinated by the inventive power of the old jazz greats. At the same time I never lost touch to my roots and the records that inspired me to pick up the guitar when I was young. My bands and projects now cover a broad variety of styles: from modern jazz to Latin, blues, Americana, rock, drum&bass to everything in between.
But for sure there were some special inspirations!
I started taking the guitar serious because of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eddie Van Halen… Those two musicians impressed me a lot with their way of playing the instrument. Both can orchestrate a tune in a complete way, changing from comping riffs to fill-ins and solos so effortlessly, they shape the whole structure of a song just with the possibilities of the guitar. great!
