How it all started...
I got into country music at a young age. I got my first guitar when I was about four years old and mostly listened to music by John Denver, Don Williams, and Merle Haggard. One day my dad asked if I wanted to sing on a real stage — I said yes, and there I stood: dressed as a cowboy in front of about 200 people at our village carnival festival. My first live performance was singing the legendary John Denver song Country Roads.
The Band...
When I was about sixteen, a few friends and I started a band called Penthouse the Next Generation. We played older songs from the Eagles, Billy Ray Cyrus, and CCR. We had a lot of fun at gigs and jamming in our small garage.
Army and Present
After a period of jamming and gigging I served the military for almost 6 years. During my time in the Dutch
Army I didn’t have much time to spend on playing music. I had my guitars and amp on the army base where I taught some of my buddies in my platoon how to play the guitar. In
'99 after my deployment in Kosovo for a couple of months I served for 2 more years and left the Army.
After that I started experimenting with modern and traditional Country Music by recording a bunch of demos to see what I could do best with my voice. And finally that's how I set up a repertoire of songs that I can proudly present to y’all.
