Pianist and composer specialized in jazz, classical and contemporary music.

I started writing music in feb. 2011 to get my emotions and feelings out of my system. I couldn't talk about it, so I wrote music instead. For years I didn't care if my music would be out there for anyone to hear, because I wrote music for myself. But this year a friend convinced me to put my music online for the world to hear, because if I love it, some other people might too.

Why everything is full-electronic, even though it's metal, is pretty explainable too.

I could never find any band-members that wanted to join me in this, and I couldn't do this all on my own (learn all the instruments). I don't have all the money in the world to buy all the equipment you need for a professional recording, and last but not least, I didn't want to be held back by what I couldn't play. I just wanted to write whatever was in my head at that moment. If I wouldn't have written all the songs that I actually couldn't play at the time, easily 75% of these songs wouldn't have existed. 

I am very proud of what my music has become and my dream is to record all my 36 albums in a professional studio with session-musicians and guest vocalist to bring this music to life for REAL. That's the next goal, and you can help with that, if you want!.

Cheers from the Netherlands and have a splendid day!
