Hello !

Besides, that i play with THE APOLLOS - a 70's SoulTribute and the brasilian samba-reggae band AZEVICHE around the bars and cafes in Holland.

I recorded at the studio with The Woodwards, a dutch-american folkcombo; with Sophie Zeyl, a dutch singersongwriter mixing live-electronics and acoustic instruments, aswell as with the above mentioned Apollo's.

My love goes to soulful music in its widest range and i am always interested in sessionwork and interesting projects.
Feel free to get in touch with me !

Thank you ! « Minder
