My Musical Roots
My Creative Process
My Creative Process
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was exposed to many different styles of music, but Rock and Roll has always been at the forefront. That passion led me to the drums, and I've been playing ever since.
My influences come from a wide range of artists, including KISS, Rush, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was exposed to many different styles of music, but Rock and Roll has always been at the forefront. That passion led me to the drums, and I've been playing ever since.
My influences come from a wide range of artists, including KISS, Rush, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes, Judas Priest, Peter Gabriel, Seal, Elton John, Kate Bush, Alice Cooper, and Pink Floyd. I also find inspiration in classical composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Vivaldi, whose creativity and musical vision continue to influence musicians centuries later.
I believe great music has no boundaries. Drawing from a variety of genres and influences has helped shape my approach as a drummer, engineer, and producer. Through it all, the drums remain my greatest passion and the foundation of my lifelong journey in music.

My Creative Process
Every song has its own personality, and my creative process begins by listening to what the music is asking for. My drumming is shaped by life experiences, emotions, and the inspiration I draw from each song. I enjoy exploring different styles, sounds, microphones, and gear to find the right approach for every project.
