Influences

My sound is a mixture of my influences: Andy Summers, Mark Knopfler, Bill Frisell, John Frusciante, Van Hunt, Erik Krasno. I can sound very agressive and funky, but also smooth and tasteful jazzy. I am a skilfull solo and rhythm guitarist with (if required) a very open and experimental edge.

To pick up interesting sounds to form my sonic picture I also listen intensively to artists/bands not being guitarists per se: Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder (and a lot others in the Motown period), Weather Report, Gorillaz, Outkast, The Roots, Steve Coleman and Marc Carey.
