I was born in 1986. I grew up near Cologne, Germany. I studied music in England and have been playing in different bands for the past 15 years. i currently play guitar for the Cologne based rock group "Lynching Jokers".
I have always been interested in meeting people from different parts of the world and on my many travels and times when I've lived abroad I have met countless inspirational people, made lots of friends and had the chance to broaden my horizon 😁

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all genres of music. In my band we play Rock music with elements of Metal, Grunge, Alternative and Punk.
I'm a bit of a guitar nerd so I'm interested in pretty much all of the great guitar Heroes, from Hendrix to SRV, Jeff Beck, Satriani, Eric Johnson, BB King, Santana, Mark Knopfler etc.

My favourite band ever are probably the Red Hot Chili Peppers (but only the John Frusciante on guitar era 😁)

I quite enjoy reading books. Books I like include The Assyrian, The Blood Star, David Copperfield, The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit, Really The Blues, The Quiet American, Watership Down, Robinson Crusoe, Crazy Heart and many more

I'm especially a fan of epic movies like Gladiator, The Revenant, Warrior, The Last Samurai, Drive

...but there are also some comedies I like and also some Sci-Fi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
