About / Biography

With my program "Happy & Romantic Spanish Guitar " I spread the nice vibes of Joy and Happiness with a very varied repertoire of cheerful uptempo rumbas, sultry Bossa Nova's, romantic Boleros, passionate flamenco and a number of beautiful jazz- and pop-songs.

I play at birthdays, garden parties, during dinners, drinks, cultural and company-events but also at weddings and funerals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

For a senior cultural Club I did a small Talk and I played my finest Latin and Spanish songs. Everybody started to dance and was very happy. It was so enjoyable.


What's your favourite type of event?

I like the events with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Could be a dinner, a birthday party, a wedding or a kind of a lounge party. If possible outside!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I'm gigging now for 15 years. It started with a invitation to play in a art gallery in St. Petersburg.
Nowadays I am doing a 40 till 50 gigs in a year. The most in the Netherlands but also in Belgium and sometimes in Germany.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I'm influenced by the Flamenco guitar of Paco de Lucia. I like the Brazilian music and admire the composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. The melodic playing of Miles Davis and Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd are a great Inspiration for me.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I can work with every performance schedule up till 4 hours with a few small breaks.
I will be there one hour before.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I like it to play outside but some shadow at the performance place is welcome.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients can tell me which songs of my reportoire of 80 songs in particular they want to hear. Clients can also tell me or they want me very relaxing in the background, or more present, making contact with the public and playing with passion and fire.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients are in general very satisfied about how I
fill in different roles, and how I pick up the right songs out of my repertoire that duits the event.


Do you play at the tables?

Yes, if customers appreciate that I do this!
