About the Artist
Seperated from my parents due to a coeliac disease, I've been through two orphanages and ten different families. It was not easy for me and for years, I've questioned why I've been through what I've been through, physical, mental, sexual and emotional abuse. Today, I believe everything was meant to be. In my early teens, in one of the families I was living with at the time, they had a piano,.. at that time I was occupied with gymnastics, hockey, down-hill skiing, scouts and art. I asked the parents if I could take piano lessons and they said no because they thought that I was too occupied. Since that day, I've been hooked to the piano and learnt to play by ear (when no one was around). When I was nineteen, I travelled to Quebec City out of curiousity. Due to personal life's problems I got hooked with drugs and alcohol. During those four years in Quebec City, I found the guitar and seemed to pick it up quite easily. I had found a reason to live and it's kept me alive! to this day. I sought help for my alcohol and drug problems, dealt with the past, the pain and I seemed to have transformed into a positive, motivated musician. I had a dream that there were thousands upon thousands of people infront of me, while I was on stage and I haven't let go of that dream since. In my music, I've been told that "I've got something to say" and I believe I do. Through all the hardships,... I have taken life and turned it around into a positive one. Still, today there are people going through what I've been through and I'd like to send a message of hope, not to give up on themselves, to connect spiritually and to bring people together. I believe what I have to offer is powerful, uplifting, peaceful and most of all, positive. I love singing about nature as much as I love it. I believe today, that this is my purpose in life and why I was brought on this earth.
