Filip Lambrechts started playing the guitar at the age of 16. He improved his playing by imitating what he heard on records (mostly American singer-songwriters). Some time later he discovered Dadgad (particular way of tuning the guitar) thanks to the recordings of Pierre Bensusan.
After having studied jazz music for some years he returned to acoustic folk music. Next to Bensusan he is also inspired by the playing of Martin Simpson, and Welsh guitarist Dylan Fowler. Filip was also member of the trio Sourdine and Celtic band Camaxe.
