Biography:
”I first got into keyboards at the age of 14, playing at the time on some cheap Casio board before I moved
on to take piano lessons. After a short while of uninspiring and none informative lessons, I quit and went on
exploring on my own. I started learning songs of Metallica, Yngwie Malmsteen etc. by ear, which were my
favorites at the time.. I used to transcribe pieces of their music note by note and soon became very
confident about what I was doing. Later on I discovered Dream Theater, early Genisis, ELP and lots of 70’s
prog bands which made me interested in the progressive and technical way of playing and composing. During this
period I was generally practicing five to six hours a day and I got my first real keyboard which was a Korg M1.
Now days I’m trying to play as much as possible and keep on improving and growing as a musician”.
