Now in Munich Born in Japan (Okinawa)    

In the Beginning….   As a Metal Kid one day I found a piano and the story began. At 12, I started playing piano and bass guitar. Since the first day, I was composing small classical symphonies with much fire and “Balls to the Wall”. In a couple of months, I was performing my compositions in school concerts. With only 2 hands ( ha ha) and so many ideas, I needed a band to play with. That´s when the search began.  

Influences

I was lucky to be influenced by these following bands ( past 2 present) Symphony X, Dream Theater, Rush, Black Sabbath, DIO, Planet X, early Crüe, Savatage, Maiden, Megadeth ( Mustaine RULES), Metallica, Testament, Voivod, George Lynch, Helloween, Cacophony, Death, At The Gates, Desultory, Demigod, Pantera, Sentenced and many more.
