BIO
that's me
Being born in 1996, I started to play guitar at the age of seven and quickly joined my first band “Plutonium” 4 years later. Through my never-ending motivation for all kinds of music and regular support from my parents, I early on build up a repertoire of a lot of songs. I went through a couple of teachers and music schools, till I finally decided to study music.
Landing 2018 in Enschede at
“ArtEZ Conservatory” to study pop music, probably was the turning point for my beginning career as a guitarist. The experiences I made with musicians while studying, as well as the ones at the side of it, formed me and my playing style.

To diversify, I also put my focus on studio guitar and backing vocals too.
After a two-month internship in 2021 in Nashville, I graduated in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in music.
Right now I am playing in several different cover bands, bands that play original material and in a tribute band as well. I also co-produce and write songs for several projects too.
