THE BEGINNING

 

"My old man used to play metal music in his car, I liked every song with killer guitar and singers. When I was twelve I got the chance to play guitar with my uncle (known from Rowwen Hèze), the amp wasn't grounded, shocking me nastily. I vowed to never touch a guitar again. That was until I was 18 years old and my will to play guitar overcame my fear of getting shocked. I was a huge Children of Bodom fan because of their insane neoclassical guitar riffs and I wanted to be able to make songs just like them and bands like Malmsteen and Maiden. My uncle gifted me his fender squier and a behringer V-AMP 2.
I started out learning Maiden right away, but my dad and uncle told me I should slow down and start with the basics. They told me less is more. I refused, because I wanted to play metal ASAP. My dad made a bet: "Well then... If you can play Aces High within a month, including the solo, I will give you a thousand euro's". Ofcourse I started learning right of the bat and I learned it. I sank all my free time in learning Aces High. My dad was astonished and realized he needed to keep his word when I played it for him that day. He laughed. He told me that he would pay up when the time was right.

 

MY FIRST DEAN
 

After a year he bought me a Dean ML Lightning (shockingly ironic) for my birthday and when I joined my first band a Marshall JCM 800, which I both use even to this day! Needless to say, he kept his word. 

 

THE END

I started writing and composing for Fearwell when I started playing guitar. The verses in Hypocrite and Well of Fear for example were composed in my first year of playing guitar. Making Fearwell a project dating back to 2010. I always knew this was my destiny when I picked up that guitar and now we're finally there. Music helped me shape my life and helped me through very bad times and getting to know myself. Without music, I don't know where my life would be. Probably in the Well of Fear.
I am very excited to share my music with you on stage and set my creativity loose on the world."
