"Hey Guys, I do not think I have ever written you before. I got your CD at the TAXI Rally a while back. I just pulled out your disc to play while I am working on some organizing here at the studio. Its a really fun record. Cool Vibe. No other reason to write than to say I am enjoying Trip to Psychedelphia. Support independent music and small business!!!"

"..He recorded a 9 tracks instrumental demo cd with tunes from smooth ballads to powerful instrumental rock pieces. There are some funny licks inside which are influenced by Mattias Eklundh or Bumblefoot (his most noticeable influences). The best representation of this influences are inside “Do you have Sauce”, “Bonjour”. We also find a marvellous ballad inside this demo cd, “endless love” or “moments of life”, which reminds me of Andy Timmons’s song “Cry for love”, and “Mad do boogie” reminds me of the English guitar player Jan Cyrka. So you can imagine how Ponco’s music is.."

Ponco mulai bermain gitar sejak kecil ( kelas 3 SD) secara otodidak, yang selalu curi-curi kesempatan utk memainkan gitar kakaknya, pengalaman yg berkesan yaitu pada umur 5 thn suatu hari Ayahnya mengajaknya untuk melihat Band dimana Ayahnya juga bermain Drum, kontan saja memicu adrenalinnya yang meledak-ledak, apalagi musik yang mereka bawakan emang Rock N Roll A la Beatles, setelah itu Ponco mulai mendengar Led Zepplin,Rush dll seperti sarapan pagi tiap hari.
Waktu Kelas 1 SMP 90 awal Ia kebetulan nonton film Back to The Future M.J.Fox, setelah saat itu nyali untuk bermain gitarpun semakin menggila. Ia kemudian memutuskan untuk belajar di YMI Solo, cuma saat itu Ia masih bermain Classic, setelah lancar fundamental, segera Ia mempelajari Elektrik Gitar, kemudian Ia melanjutkan Studi ke PAZZ MUSIC STUDIO di Solo dibawah didikan Harry Gusman, dan mulai bermain Band, yang mainin lagu2 Slank, Mr.Big, Edane dll.
Sesuai perjalanan karir dari Band ke Band akhirnya Ia tiba di Jakarta untuk belajar Musik di IKJ ( 1997- Alumni ) dan disitu jadi banyak pengaruh Classic yang lumayan banyak, dan sempet juga bermain cafe ke cafe. Seiring dengan waktu Ia kemudian sempat Join dengan Band Overture(IKJ) tapi gak lama, lalu bersama Iman (eks.Pendulum) membentuk Imanissimo yang ber genre Progrock, Imanissimo telah Recording album di bawah P.R.S (Progressif Record of Sony Indonesia). Sekarang Ponco sudah tidak bergabung lagi bersama Imanissimo. Di saat itu Ponco telah mulai sibuk dengan kegiatan mengajar di bilangan Jakarta, Bekasi dan Depok, dan sempat juga menjadi session player studio baik untuk artist/band dan jingle advertisement.
Ditahun 2004 Ponco kembali serius menekuni study nya dan memutuskan untuk berangkat ke US untuk belajar di University of Central Oklahoma School of Music. Selain kuliah Ia juga banyak kesibukan dengan bermain di jazz band, duet guitar saxophone, quartet jazz band, serta beberapa rock dan country band di area Oklahoma dan sekitarnya. hal lain yang tak ditinggalkan nya selain bermusik on stage , Ponco juga lebih banyak berkutat di dunia Jingle dan Advertisement US, baik untuk media product, radio, televisi bahkan hingga ke movie soundtrack production. Setelah merampungkan study Master di major Performing Arts Ia kembali ke tanah air dan mulai kembali bermusik dan juga di minta untuk menjadi staff pengajar di alma mater Institut Kesenian Jakarta (IKJ) di Fakultas Seni Pertunjukan - Musik (Classical and Electric Guitar Major)
Ponco berharap banyak untuk bisa melihat generasi muda musik Indonesia berkibar baik di kancah nasional dan international, Hidup musik Indonesia!

Weekend's great! Just came back from the opera (Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor", made me shiver). And tomorrow I'll got to the Netherlands to meet Edo (well, yes, and to participate in a Guthrie Govan-masterclass). I'm totally excited! Have a wonderful sunday, my friend! Cheers Jutta

Hi Ponch, what’s been cooking – still busy doing clinics?
I’m happy to say I’ve been fortunate enough to find the backing guitarist I was looking for and the weekly band rehearsals are going very well!
Also, I just spent one morning at a local studio working on a little surprise a couple of weeks ago and I’m looking forward to announce some cool news regarding to this later this year – I’ll keep you posted!
Hope all is well at your end, Juha
Ps. I finally found the right EU friendly adapter for my Electro-Harmonix POG2 pedal too. It’s a very versatile pedal, I’m quite impressed!
