Musical Influences/Idols:
The first influences that led me to rock and metal music were bands like Metallica, Scorpions or Van Halen and the guitarists Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen. I love progressive music thanks to the bands Dream Theater, Symphony X, Neal Morse and later Porcupine Tree, OSI, Protest the Hero, Opeth, Human Abstract, IQ, Orphaned Land and many more. Besides the progressive metal bands, I love metal and metalcore music from bands like Killswitch Engage, Unearth, All That Remains, Asking Alexandria, Parkway Drive, Attack Attack! and many more, which of course infuenced me as far as playing and songwriting is concerned.
