I spent most of my life mesmerized by the ingenuity of the rock bands that have been able to create masterpieces with their hands, voices and instruments. So I am trying to slow down a bit for creating valuable, shareable, loveable, and engaging songs.

Think of me as a candid human traversing an extremely fast moving world where aggressive geopolitics, dominant technologies, and social divide are becoming a norm. More than factual statements, I choose my words and songs so that they nail down and publicly expose an emotion or an elephant-in-a-room-problem. Therefore, my “artist’s” position gives me full freedom to talk and share my perception with the world, in music, whilst respecting 100% of all other human beings – and living things – regardless of their color, gender, language, feelings, political inclination, religion, name it you have it.

As a defender of an anonymous world, you will hardly see any real picture of me. Instead, I am using an avatar who is as bald as I am and who has much larger eyes. These are wide open to see the world with no filter.

Because of the above, you’ll see that my influences are fairly wide. Although my comfort zone is mainly in Rock and Funk, you’ll probably hear some Reggae here and there and some more experimental tribal music tying back to my childhood. If you’re wondering what that means, I can help by randomly naming some of the immense artists that shaped my style. These include: The Police, Pink Floyd, The Fearless Flyers, Sting, Dire Straits, Jimmy Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers , Fishbone, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Gnawa Diffusion, Raoul Petite, Arctic Monkeys, Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, Iggy Pop,  Nass el Ghiwane, Infectious Grooves, The Doors, The Beatles, Urban Dance Squad, AC/DC, Jaco Pastorius, to name a few. So if you have ever listened to – and liked – any of these artists, you may want to click on my tracks and follow my work.
