All my life, music has been my great love. For just as many years, my drums have been a source of joy, an outlet, a driving force, a challenge, and more than once, a support in difficult times.

Music is also my meeting place. Music brings people together. And of course, that is exactly how it is in my life. I played with great pleasure in the rehearsal space, in many bands, and on many stages for many people. And in every phase of life, new encounters arose that gave meaning to my musical lifeline.

One day, I received an invitation to participate in "a" performance and play "some songs" by Leonard Cohen. That love needed to grow, and fortunately, it has received the time and chance to do so. Now, over ten years and many concerts later, the music and lyrics of Cohen fit me like a very comfortable jacket. At the same time, it turns out that in my current field of work, music is one of the greatest healing forces on the human life path.

Now, considering all this, it stands to reason that what connects me with the Leonard Cohen Tribute Band is the music, the lyrics, the depth, the inspiration, and of course: the people,....... Every performance again. And that with immense pleasure..
