What can I do for you?
Guitars....
Although I play various instruments, first and foremost I am a guitarplayer. I grew up with guitars and the axe is my go-to instrument. I have extensive experience playing in various cover bands and original bands, seen more stages than I can remember and I can offer this experience, should you need someone to lay down guitar tracks. I know my way around a studio and all the right gear one would ever need is available. Because I am a gear nut, I collected some nice gear and guitars over the years. I'm not really into modeling, allthough it can have it's advantages in certain situations. I like to keep it oldschool. Nothing compares to a real 100 watt tube amp blowing your socks off... I use Custom Audio/Suhr and Randall modular amps with Salvation custom modules. As for guitars, I mainly use Tylers. FX are done with rack stuff and pedals, too much to list (and constantly changing anyway). This gives me all the options and sounds I need. From pop to hardrock and country to fusion, contact me if you need some tracks....
Piano, synths and more....
Ever since I got my Bontempi organ when I was 5 years old, I have been fascinated by the possibilities of 88 keys vs. 6 strings. In my youth, guitar had the better of me though. But at 18 I was prepping for professional music school, where playing a second instrument is elementary. Then I rediscovered the 88 keys. I have been playing piano, hammond and synths ever since. Funny enough, because most of my friends are guitarplayers, I get asked a lot to lay down some keys for their bands. I have an extensive studio setup now, containing the latests hardware and software. Currently my Korg Oasys, Yamaha Motif XF, Hammond and various hardware modules get the most use. I also use a big collection of sample banks and VST's, so I am able to get any sound I need.
Vocals and producing....
I have worked with a lot of starting and accomplished bands recording. Together with my buddy Dirk Brouns @ Maasland Studios we have produced some exiting records. I love to put in a fresh ear and help bands get their sound on tape (or harddisk if you will). You know, apart from being a musician, I am a big music junkie too. That means I am interested in all kinds of music, ranging from alternative to jazz and everything in between. Because of this I'm able to inspire others and give direction to anyone who needs a fresh set of ears to get things along.
As for vocals; yeah I do that too. In all honesty, I must say that I'm still not comfortable hearing my own voice on tape, even after all these years. Yet still I get asked a lot for (backing) vocals. So I must be doing something right. Check my discography should you need some references....
