Biography

When I was a little boy I heard Tricky Beans (Sonata Arctica) many times at my school. They played at the band night every year before they got famous. Then I decided that some day I'll be like them. So me and my friends started to play some "music". But however that wasn't the only reason for me to start play drums. My brother listened Stratovarius, Dream Theater, Metallica and my sister also. When I first saw live performance by Stratovarius I imagined Tommy Portimo to replace Jörg Michael and then I would replace Tommy. That was cool (I'm psycho). Then I got my first drumset and since then I haven't been a normal boy...
can't make any longer....
must have....
that bread....
noooo.....

that was a short summary of my musical history...or something like that
