A GooD IdeA
I promised to tell you more about myself....Since 1982 I've been devoting a lot of time to music. I play Conga's, Drums and all sorts of African, and Latin-American-percussion. Some songs seem to go allright too, even though I don't really have a singin' voice. The time I had between gigs, in all of Europe, I studied English/Dutch translation and took up computing as a hobby. |
Being a
musician I obviously have a taste for music. Now this is weird because
I seem to like the strangest things...For starters
there's Opera. Now don't get me wrong,
I usually don't like opera but Verdi turned me around.
Nowadays when I hear something similar I take the time to
listen if I like it. Then there's the Sex
Pistols. Weird? Oh well, that's nothing compared
to the weirdness in TripHop.... There was a time when Bob Marley was my hero, just like
the Stones, Pink Floyd, Deep
Purple, Steel Pulse, Madonna, AbbA and Lionel Richie but those days are gone.
Now my heroes are part of
those one-day heroes that are mass-consumed by
yours truly. Alanis Morissette, Jewel,
Skunk Anansi,
you name it, I like it ! When I go out on an occasional
fridaynight there's nothing more relaxing
than dancing
to this modern-day trash.

I went to secundairy school in Curacao but had to finish it in The Netherlands in 1982. After that I started in the music-business which has been really good to me. I played in a variety of bands, varying in style from top-100 covers, to salsa, and rythm & blues. Currently I'm working on a solo project wich will come out in the form of a c.d. in december. Look on my homepage.My hobbies are: Travelling, cycling, art architecture and design, swimming, dancing, photography. Furthermore I enjoy watching F1-races, hiking, reading and quiet nights watching Discovery channel or the BBC. Maybe I'm also a Star Trek fan, I don't know......but every time there's science-fiction on I have to see....My favourite food: Italian
