Musical background: Started taking piano lessons when I was was 6 years old and kept it up for 4 years. When I was 12 I started taking guitar lessons at ToBe music school in Oud-Beijerland (The Netherlands). At that time, I was put in a band called Typhoid fever. This lasted 4 years. Half a year later I was asked to join New Era Dojo. We started small playing in Waterfront and played our last big show at Baroeg Open Air. At the same time I also played in Elaboration and Intoxication for a while. After a period of three years we all went our separate ways and I joined MindShade!
