His parents listened to the sound the ’60s and ’70s like CCR, Stones, Status Q, AC/DC, T-Rex, Led Zeppelin, James Brown and a lot of Blues and so on.

At what point in your life did you decide to pursue a career in music? How did you get started?

I’m a happy man, and I like the easy way to make music. Country, Rock, Blues, Rock ‘N’ Roll, Funk, whatever.

Do you have any hobbies outside of music? What do you do to stay creative?

Yes, I’m a hiker and like it to be outside.

I ride my bike daily.

Who are some of your main musical influences?

I think that is Blues. Blues is my main influence, and then comes Rock ‘N’ Roll, Rock, Funk and Country.

The most music I listened to when I grew up as a child and teenager was the Music of CCR from John Fogerty because my father heard this daily.

Later, I listened to Blues like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King and Muddy Whaters, Jonny Lang and the Blues Brothers for example.
