A part from being a professional Chef in my spare time besides cooking for my family I enjoy writing my own music and recording it at my home studio. I recorded an album in 2013 in a professional studio with a producer and now I produce my own album at home. I love it. Photography is a hobby of mine i love to be outdoors and have some fantastic shots of wildlife when i went to Alaska 5 years ago.
