About Me |
|
| Where to begin, what to tell and especially what to hide?Well I'll try to tell you all a little about my personal background. Since I can remember music has been a important part of my life. At first only passive but during my life more and more active. I'm working as a soundengineer for about 10 years now. I started out being asked by friends to do sound for their band. Before I did, I assisted an experienced soundengineer (John if you are reading this: thanx again!) and during the first years, while already doing gigs I studied for soundtechnician at several institutes. After my study I started to do more soundjobs, mostly I was asked, due to mouth to mouth recommendation. A couple of years ago I met Erik Prins who ownes an Agency. He asked me if I was interested to collaborate on some of his projects which I did. Next to this I've been doing sound for Dutch Gothic/metal band Asrai for a couple of years. Nowadays I'm active as regular soundengineer for Kiss Forever (Hungarian based Kiss Tribute Band), Big Ones (Italian Aerosmith Tributeband), Dream Company (Italian Bon Jovi tribute band) and dutch U2 tribute Sudden Impact. On occasion I also do sound for Paris Dandies and Hells Belles (German All Female AC/DC tribute). Highlights so far are gigs in Mexico, London and famous Dutch venue Paradiso and some mighty fine festivals like Raise Your Hands, Dicky Woodstock, Femal Metal Voices, Oranjerock, Borstrock etc. Next year I'll hope to tour internationally again.
