About this artist

I've been playing guitar since I was 12 yrs old and started my first band, butter-Fly, when I was 15. I also had my first live show ever with butter-Fly. The show was awful but I felt amazing! The feeling on stage was something I was always looking for. But we were young and other bandmates wanted to focus on studies more, so our band decided to say goodbye to each other!
After butter-Fly broke up, I played guitar for another band for a while, but it wasn’t really what I wanted so I left.
Not long later I was sent to jail. While in jail I started writing a song called “Back Home". After I got out of jail I formed a band called 233°C. With this band I finished my first original song, Back Home, and also I made another song "IONA", but not many people listened to it, so I gave up for a while.
I went to Japan for a working holiday, but music never left me... After I came back home, I started making music again, because I know this is something in my blood, and I will never give up again.
