Guido Ettlin

Guido comes from a musical background. His father played trumpet, his brother is a bass player. Guido started playing violin before he became a drummer. Why Blood was the first band he joined.

After finishing the study at the Swiss Jazz School in Bern Guido opened his own drum school in Sarnen and went on teaching at several Swiss music schools.

Over the years he worked with numerous bands and artists including Al Corley ("Face To Face" tour in Germany, France and Morocco) and Phil Carmen ("Changes" tour in Germany and Switzerland).

Guido also works as a producer for new Swiss bands and as a composer. The session project "Funk & Soul" made his dream come true of putting together various excellent musicians coming from different countries. He has plans to continue those projects.
