Mijn passie voor muziek begon toen ik twaalf jaar oud was en de legendarische sound van Alice Cooper ontdekte. Vanaf dat moment was er geen weg terug. In de loop der jaren is mijn muzikale reis uitgegroeid tot een brede liefde voor hardrock, prog rock, prog metal, zware metal en authentieke blues. Muziek is voor mij niet zomaar een achtergrondgeluid; ik ben een actieve verzamelaar van vinyl en geniet intens van het ritueel van een plaat opzetten. Naast het vullen van mijn platenkast trek ik er graag op uit op de fiets om te ontspannen en mijn hoofd leeg te maken.
