Bio

My name is Karl. I live in Basel, Switzerland.
Born in '87, music has always been a big part of my life. When I was young, I always wanted to play drums. Because we used to live in a flat I once decided to buy an electric guitar, I was about 16. I taught myself, that was hard in the beginning, but I joined several bands soon. Years later I took lessons for a few months to get rid of my rude techniques. As time went by, I started playing other guitars and drums too. 
For me, writing songs and creating my own sounds are the most important parts in music. Because I am self-taught I have the freedom to play and create unrestrictively. Another important thing in jamming is, to listen to others first. I think that the electric guitarist's job is to add the very last bit to an artwork.
