"This is actually my favorite guitarist," I remember Plini saying these words during a show in Nijmegen (yes, the town where Eddie Van Halen grew up) and thought, “Hm, I should check this guy out.” I’m glad I did!
"I'm trying to be less melancholic." These were the words Jakub spoke just before our interview during a workshop at the Guitar Summit in Mannheim, and they resonated in my mind. Why? I asked myself. The music of this fantastic – and I repeat, FANTASTIC – guitarist can indeed be somewhat melancholic at times. But in a beautiful way. It's music you can simply lose yourself in. Jakub composes like a painter creating a canvas: it's rich, colorful music that sounds unlike anything else I know. I'm very grateful to Jakub for how open he was during this conversation, despite mentioning that he's not really a social person. I'm really looking forward to seeing him live again.
