After studying mathematics for half a year, I changed course in 2000 and since then I have been busy with my great passion music. In 2008 I graduated cum laude from the Brabant Conservatory in Tilburg. My main subject teachers were Willem Kühne, Jeroen van Vliet and Randal Corsen. From my second year of study I have been able to accompany comedian Seth Gaaikema for over 10 years during his tours at home and abroad. After that I have seen even more of the world when I worked for several years as Music Manager and later as Music Supervisor at AIDA Cruises, Hamburg.
