One of the most memorable gigs I’ve done was an unplugged performance at Boston Tea Party in Ringwood. Despite a snapped guitar string mid-performance, the energy from the crowd was incredible, and it truly felt like a rock 'n' roll moment.
I’ve been greatly influenced by the energy and creativity of Red Hot Chili Peppers, the raw power of Nirvana, and the passion of Lithuanian rock bands like Foje and ZAS. My favorite artist is Linkin Park for their groundbreaking fusion of rock, rap, and emotion. The greatest song of all time, in my opinion, is "Numb" by Linkin Park - it’s an iconic track that resonates deeply with its powerful lyrics and unforgettable melody.
I started gigging in Lithuania after finishing classical guitar training at Yamaha Music School. I performed at various well-known venues and later began writing songs in English when I moved to the UK in 2012. Since then, I’ve played at countless open mics, original music nights, and private events, honing my craft along the way.
