Sip your drink, kick back and imagine you are on your favorite beach while you listen to the smooth yet catchy music of Jardini.

Band/artist history

I have been playing keyboards for over 25 years now. During the dotcom boom of 1999, I made enough money to able to put together a decent studio. I'm just now learning how to use all that wonderful equipment to its full capabilities. As I get more accostomed to my studio, you can expect to hear new and ever more wonderful tracks appear.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

No. Jardini is just me in my studio with a Cubase DAW. I prefer to compose and record alone.

Your musical influences

Progressive rock, jazz rock, jazz, classical, brass band.....

I have visted or lived and worked in many countries of the world, so I have been infulenced by many music styles.
