Since 1980 I am writing and playing my own songs. I am a singer and I play on several mostly acoustic guitars and other string-instuments like banjo, mandoline and bass. I am also a harmonica player.
In the early eighties I started playing as a street artist on the streets of major dutch cities. Nowadays I only appear on stage. My shows are dynamic and emotional. People are often very moved after my concerts. At some shows I'm accompanied by bassist Henny van Lunteren and percussionist Alexander Klusman and sometimes I join forces with colleagues like Marijn Wijnands, Marten de Paepe, Shane Alexander, Jessica Kilroy and Karyn Oliver.

I have my own recording-studio so I can work when-ever I like to. Other artists have already found my studio too. I have made some very inspired cd's as an solo artist (january 2001 “Sunset Moonshine”; february 2002 “Redux”; april 2004 “Know Feel”; september 2006 "Count the better Days"; may 2009 "Road to Rapture") and for several other great Dutch artists and bands like VisAge, Jos Wijnen, Rosa Sky, Noon, Sirocco, Mischa Lelieveld and Walkin' Bus.
