Biography:
”I started playing the guitar at the age of 13 as my older brother had a classical one. He introduced me to The Beatles and I wanted to learn playing
like him. My first guitar was a steel string acoustic that my grandfather bought to me for Christmas, which resulted in my first electric guitar a few years later.
After receiving the electric guitar I started practicing for many, many hours a day. Riffs, techniques and blues improvisation as well as songs of the bands that inspired me”.
