Antwerp / Belgium

I was born on the 12th of September 1988. I started to study music when I was five years old. A few years later, when I wanted to play the piano, I went to the local music academy to study classical piano. Very soon I got into pop music and synthesizers as well. I began playing in bands and started to write different kinds of music, from pop, to jazz, to classical.
Someday, when I was wandering around in a music store, I was attracted by a bass guitar. Since there was no bass player in my current band I bought one and learned to how play it on my own.
These days, I'm studying electric bass and piano at the Jazz Department of the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Apart from that I still spend all of my free time on 'music' as a freelance musician and private teacher.
