About me
Den Haag, Netherlands
I've been playing music since my mother taught me the first chords on a Spanish guitar when I was seven years old. I changed to the bass when I was in Highschool and since then I've played in numerous rock bands during the 80's, 90's and 00's. In the zero's I started to move towards jazz, and took some courses to learn more about the music theory. With this luggage of knowlegde I began to write my own music. My style developped to jazzy-pop tunes, using my new skills I learned from a great jazz guitarist from Germany. This sparked the project Sleek Harmony.
Sleek Harmony is a project borne out of the collaboration between Athens based songwriter Héllena and me, at that time bass player with The Hague's rockband Tres.
Without even having met in real life but only on the online world, we created two songs in 2017. Over the past 5 years, we kept in close contact resulting in 2 live shows in the Netherlands and a live home recording of 3 brand new songs last June.

Pass It On
During an hour and a half online session we gave free rein to our creativity for a second song. Anat Porat and Pobee started writing along these lines of thought. Anat came up with the words Pass It On. She made the connection with the subject of social change through the human gesture of giving and sharing. By giving we also receive. Pobee made the connection with life in his spoken word. The most important gift we all have. Use that breath of life, because it is the only and at the same time everything we need to be who we want to be.

P.E.A.C.E. One More Chance
Our composition has developed the theme of Beyond Music, Social Change, in a unique, artistic and modern way. Judging by the conflicts in the world, the division between people now seems greater than ever. Art is an excellent means of bringing people together, seeking dialogue, and learning from each other. Art can only be fully experienced by looking at the world with open eyes and ears as children do - uninhibited and fearless! To achieve that for everyone, P.E.A.C.E (One more Chance). Because People Everywhere Are Created Equally!
