Red wine, beer, whiskey, vodka, gin, rum - U name it n I'll drink it.
Favorite Waste of Time (outside of music)
If it is a favourite it can't be waste of time right, but sex does come to mind.
Best Tour Memory
Like I would tell U guys about it! No way I take the 5th on this 1.
Worst Tour Memory
Our tour bus broke down in Finland winter time with -30°C. Let me tell ya, pushing a tour bus in Chelsea boots n Lepard jacket ain't the greatest. Finnish customs made us strip n took everything out of the tourbus n just gave us hell, we did something back at the end of the Finnish tour and left the Country in a hurry. Mess with us n we mess with U.
Life motto
Carpe Diem (Got it tattooed on my left underarm)

The first time I performed I was a drummer and it was the best thing I've ever done. I just knew right then that this is what I wanna do with my life. I was 14 years old.
Family?
I got my daughter Yasmine A stepdaughter Emilia and Beatrice my girlfriend.
