-music: the first music i realy felt in love with was the blues. i started playing bluesguitar by ear since the age of 12, 6 years after i started studying music in a jazzschool where i discovered lots of other styles as all kinds of jazz, funk, latin, soul, afro cuban, gipsy, jazz-rock, fusion ,flamenco.
i'm also a big fan of classic rock,psychedelic rock ,soul and afro music of the 60's and 70´s! the music made in those years are still a big inspiration for me and will last forever...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All my trips alone through south america. of wich especialy the trekking to the lost world( roraima in la gran sabana, venezuela) and the climbing of venezuela's 2 highest peaks ( pico humboldt and pico bolivar) but so many other things as well... sometimes it could be very little things like just a 1min encounter with somebody.........too much things to sum up
