When I am not delving in old books or talking about science, you’ll probably find me playing bass. I am a bassist in the band X Raiders.

Starting out as a one-off project we came to do a tour through Taiwan and play shows on national TV and at Dutch festivals like Zwarte Cross, Paaspop and Fortarock. We recorded our latest album with Grammy-nominated producer Attie Bauw at legendary Wisseloord Studios.

We enjoy making music videos. One of them won the Best Music Video award at the 2020 The Hague Film Festival: X Raiders – Meat Market.

I’ve been endorsed by Markbass Amps and DR Strings.

While at MIT in Boston, I had the honor to play with some amazing people in the doom metal band Wet the Evil. And in California I joined Nøkken, a black metal band inspired by the towering, majestic Sequoia Sempervirens in the foggy Santa Cruz mountains.
