ABOUT

I'm tired of playing music and singing in the toilet. And although it is good for acoustics, it does not really allow for collaboration. For hopefully obvious reasons.

Looking to find talented musicians who like to write also. Small, big, low-key, loud, whatever, I'm versatile. Something original, something cool. Also happy to change things ups with my vocals, sound etc.

Also! If anyone would be interested in an MTV Unplugged 90's-00's style covers/originals, B-Sides, tribute style venture possibly playing out. I would be so down. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Incubus, Radiohead etc.

I have videos with some songs.

Dead Half-Light: There's some faffing about at the beginning, starts at around 20 sec mark.
