Amsterdam Setlist '17 Print - Limited Edition of 1000

As a guitarist, I’m known very much as a rock guitar player—a defined genre. My art allows me to explore more. I break the confines of a chord sequence with my art; I’m able to do whatever I want without having to think about being a part of a band, restricted by what a particular song needs. For me, art and music are so similar; sometimes putting more time into a song or picture does not necessarily make it better. Having said that, I have gone back to a painting that I started and at the time was unable to finish, but after returning to it, it has worked out fine. Both art and music hold their position in my life. They bounce off one another and make me the person I am. Sometimes I hit a streak that overtakes everything and I just have to paint. Music sometimes calls me and I take the painting with me, and equally it happens in reverse. But more often than not they are both happening at the same time. I paint to music, and sometimes when I’m playing, in my head I’m doing it to a painting. Art fills my life, art is my life and art will continue to be my life.
