Guitar Playing
The guitar is an instrument that has kept me interested for many years. The music you can create with a piece of wood and some strings never ceases to amaze me . Playing the guitar is great fun but can be quite confronting in the sense that my guitar is always the same but the way I am feeling can be different every time I play. 

Composing
I’ve been influenced by some great world class guitar players such as Tommy Emmanuel, Paco De Lucia, Django Rheinhardt and many, many more. A few years ago I started to compose my own instrumental guitar pieces. The impressions I get of people I meet, feelings I have about certain situations and things I hear are all ingredients for new songs. The main ingredient in all my songs is my passion for making music.

Performing
You can tell a story in many different ways. I tell stories with my instrumental guitar songs. My ambition is to take the listener on a musical storytelling journey and speak to them with the passion and emotion of sound. Every song I have written has a story and I tell these stories before each song during my performances. This way my audience will hopefully relate to my songs even more. A big part of why I love performing is meeting different artists when I’m at the venue. Talking to them about our passion always gives me energy and new ideas.
