SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m a versatile musician with over 25 years of experience playing both bass and guitar, and I also contribute vocals when needed. I’ve toured around Europe, recorded with many bands, and even had the opportunity to play with an orchestra. As a bassist, I am technically minded and I like to ensure my presence is clearly heard in the mix. When it comes to guitar, I prefer a more restrained, solid approach—less about flashy solos and more about supporting the song with steady, reliable playing.
