I'm a professional musician currently living in Zurich, Switzerland. A big part of being a musician is travelling a lot with bands & projects. I play guitar, bass, harmonica, some keys and I sing, too. A few years ago I founded my own music label which tought me a lot about the music industry. Ever since I've been booking my own shows, releasing my own music and sharing all these experiences with my friends on the label. Very DIY which I think is a very valuable way of working and living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was once travelling with Couchsurfing in the UK but that's quite a while ago now. I've been hosting for some time after that in my then hometown of Lucerne so I've seen both sides of Couchsurfing - Hosting & Surfing.

I decided to revive my account because I'm gonna be touring a lot more with my solo project and thus I'll be in need of a couch here and there on the road...
