From
Mo i Rana, a town in Northern Norway.
I am the guitarist and singer of a power metal band called
Gaia Epicus. I am a musician and i also work as a music teacher.
I
started to play drums long before I picked up a guitar for
the first time. My drum inspiration was Ian Haugland (Europe)
and Diesel Dahl (TnT). I did form a band called Thunder where
I played the drums for 2-3 years. Then some years passed
without any playing until December 1991. Then I formed
a band which is now called Gaia Epicus. Back then I was gonna
play the drums but since the guitar player didn't show any
interest I picked up the guitar and started to play, and still
do :)
Learning
how to play the guitar by teaching me how to play
almost every Metallica song, and also Megadeth songs.
So my 2 guitar hero's/teachers are Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
and James Hetfield (Metallica).
My
interests are as you may have guessed music but I also
like to make webpages and do other designs such as posters,
cd covers and so on. I also watch alot of movies as you can see
below on this page where some of my favourite movies are listed.
In
october 2006 I founded my own Record Label.
I also work with video media and have made several music
videos and also a full lenght Norwegian horror movie.

- Roland Grapow (Masterplan / ex-Helloween)
- Dominique Leurquin (Rhapsody / Luca Turilli)
- Jonas Hörnqvist (Treasure Land)
- Morty Black (ex-TNT)
