Short Bio:

I started playing acoustic guitar at eleven after seeing The Shadows live, inspired by my dad’s love for their music. My parents supported me, and I began lessons with Dutch jazz guitarist Jan Kuiper, who taught me music theory. Bands like Queen and Kiss later drew me to electric guitar, and I loved its powerful sound.

In 1987, I co-founded the melodic rock band Maestro. Though we performed live, recording was costly. I also played in Vortex (now MetalBats) for 20+ years. Recently, I’ve resumed Maestro, recorded with Eloah and RVH Project, and am working on a full Maestro album.
