A DIY home-recording autodidact from Amsterdam, Netherlands, creating music with an unpretentious, raw edge. 

Inspired by the ethos and artistry of icons like Jonathan Richman, Billy Bragg, Evan Dando, Joe Strummer, Tim Armstrong and Ryan Adams,
I craft a unique singer-songwriter style. 

My repertoire? Loosely played, straightforward tunes that capture the essence of life’s quirks. 

The joy of making music lies in diving deep into the creative process, losing myself in it, and reveling in what emerges from nothing. 

My lyrics delve into life’s tangled web: confusion, doubt, self-mockery, raw emotion, and those fleeting moments of decision-making.
They shine a light on the imperfections—the “flies in the ointment” of existence.
