HISTORY
1976: I started to play the flute1980: I started playing the piano
1982: My brother got an acoustic guitar. He could hardly practice on it, because I started playing hardrock on this thing every free minute. A few years later I got my first electric guitar. I took private lessons, then soon started giving lessons myself. Since then I've played in several bands, I've done studio jobs, many live-gigs, recorded a lot of music in my home studio.
2003: My first Solo-CD Caterpillar has been released. Beside full-speed-high-end guitars there is also a lot of very calm music on this disc.
2005: Working on my second Solo-CD which will be released by the end of the year. My homepage is finished and online. And of course lots of live-gigs with Stiletto. See you there!
