About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Write, draw, play concerts

ABOUT ME

I like literature, poetry, music, traveling, conversation. I'm a singer-songwriter and play guitar. I tour full-time playing concerts in Europe. It can be quite exhausting but is always rewarding because I meet many interesting people along the way!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone wants to be happy, and there is a strong energy in us pushing us toward what we think will make us happy. But we may suffer a lot because of this. We need the insight that position, revenge, wealth, fame, or possessions are, more often than not, obstacles to our happiness. .

Interests

Literature (Dostoevsky, McCarthy, Hemingway, Plato, Nietzsche, etc.), poetry (Eliot, Lorca, Yehuda Amichai,...), music (Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Robert Johnson,...), traveling, conversation.
