Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: I dont know so many here. But if you look at my reviews, you can see some of the people I like :)

Q: Analog or digital and why?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started out as a failed drummer in the local church and brassband. I soon got fired because I had "too" much me in the drumming :) Later on I started making my own songs by learning the guitar at an age of 14. My style always took me places I wasnt feeling comfy. So I tried develop a style that where my own, and not ruled by charts and others opinion.

A: I love singing rock and dark ballades. Most request people ask me to help them finish a song as well. Either if it is the lyrics or singing a new melody.
