In his own write:
 From the age of 6 years, I have been listening to the Beatles and was particularly intersted in Lennon's songs. I liked his first-person writing he did, as apposed to McCartney usually writing in the third person. I remember I got my first guitar at the age of 11, and I played it so often that my mom had to stop me on multiple occasions. Not very a very good incentive to keep on playing, but I was persistent and eventually I was able to play a whole song!

When I got into high school, I formed a band. It was just a schoolband, but we rocked! Amit Chandell on drums; that guy was amazing! I think he was the only one who was REALLY talented, and it helped us a lot attracting the girls from neighbouring schools, to the discontent of the teachers, who thought it was just elementary noise. I think there's still a recording of us somewhere out there. Better keep it hidden.

I really started to get into playing when I formed 'Loaded'; a band consisting of my best friends I had at the time. We played all over the Caribbean for 6 months. Just imagine what it's like being one of only a few real rock bands in the West Indies! We ended up sticking together for 7 years; the longest relationship I've ever had! 'Out Of Thin Air', an album I wrote in 2001 - which I still think is a great album -, was the last thing we did together.

I lived in Holland for a few years and worked together with one of the finest muscians Holland had to offer. I did lots of ad-lib stuff with Frank Kooijman, a talented musician whom I still work with today, did a tour through Scandinavia, and played on several pop festivals in the country.

Now on to the Beatles, so see you soon in a theatre near you!
