While his kicking around, he wrote much about life and surroundings based on a daily living in the underground about a couple of years ago. He also members of some bands (Tinkerbell - additional x Motoric Mathematics n others..) but not always ends well for himself. Eventually, he choose to pursue a solo career basicly from life experiences of the underground as a streetpunk. Idealistic DIY thinking critically about everything he saw and went through written in a few punk creation.

He tried to arrange his own music with other additional bands. He began recording songs that ever written in 2008 and finally was released in August 2010.

In 2022 He is back with the new single 'Greatest Day' (the). A song that was written based on his observations during approximately 6 years of moving and living in Bali. There are several messages conveyed in his lyrics about the problems of traffic jams, carbon emissions, and also plastic waste which are the main problems in our life. Arranged with heavy riffs, catchy drum beats at the beginning that changed fast, breakdowns in the middle of the song, and sounds a bit pop 90s in the end like "Another day in paradise" by Phil Collins. The lyrics are written without repetition of words, with sarcasm but truth, which is his trademark in writing songs.
