Date of Birth:

City:
Molenbeersel (Belgium)

Musical Background:
I started to play the guitar at the age of 11. It was acoustic and Spanish, but after 2 years I wanted to shred something heavier. For my 13th birthday I got my first electric guitar and learned to play with pick and “the metalway”.

14 years were I, boy so young .. (XD) when I got into my first band. It didn’t turn out great, and I had some changes in bands. (Like 'Surrounded by Fire, Sjuppetiere, the Black Order, Valefor). In 2007 I was invited to play in ‘Third Dynasty’. Here I have been active as rhytm guitarist for over 4 years. I couldn't find a gothic metal to play in. Even when playing on the drums or the bass. Until now. Seventh Sin. Beautiful goth metal. Just the way I like it :D (thanks Seventh Sin)

My own music style isn’t that different. It's mostly just metal. (Viking-, power-, thrash- and gothmetal) but de classical and countrymusic is a branch of music I can also appreciate.

Any questions? Once, going twice? Mail me!
