I define myself as a creative pop/rock musician and composer, playing with the freedom of a jazz cat, having a solid education in classical music.

​

1. The Early Years (1960 - 1978)

I started at the age of 6 in  school choir. From the age of 8 I had piano lessons for 15 years. In high school I taught myself playing the guitar, because I wanted more freedom on stage (and to impress the girls, of course). Played blues, rock, funk, jazz, fusion, etc. We had gigs every no and then, it was fun, I learned a lot.
