CURRENT MISSION

Sharpening my True Aim

ABOUT ME

Open personality, likes to chat and meet new people, I generally enjoy beeing helpful and welcoming to strangers if I can.
I like to share a good story, a drink with friends and a late night jam-session around the kitchen table once in a while, but also need my alone time to replenish forces.

I love to travel, soak up the sights and feel of a new place, which is partly why I chose music as an occupation: what greatest way to see the world, than to do it with a song in your backpack?

PHILOSOPHY

I do my best to be a decent and respectful human being and strive to know myself and the world better. It's a never-ending and sometimes disheartening task, but that's the only one worth pursuing, in my opinion...
