I started playing the guitar at the age of 13. My parents where sure a guitar would be another thing I would loose interest in after a few weeks, so I had to convince my grandma to buy my first guitar.

Well my parents were wrong and I got obsessed with music. I spent all day practising and listening to music.

I listened to everything that was around. From Yes to Genesis, from T Rex to Mott the Hoople, from Deep Purple to Led Zeppelin. My favourite band was -and in some concerns still is- Rainbow. I really liked the mixture of heavy rock guitar with strong vocal melodies and powerful drums.
