About me
I’m a Swiss born Tibetan, and started playing the guitar at the age of nine.
Alongside my studies I started teaching guitar at the age of 18.
At the same time, as a professional musician I did studio work and played concerts with various projects both in Switzerland and abroad.
Following are some of my projects:
- Purtag, Hard Rock band with my two brothers, with concerts across all of Europe.
- Rockfuel, seventies style Rock Trio
- Tour with I Quattro, “das Zelt”
- Tsering Purtag’s Solo project, the album “Tsering Purtag” was mastered in New York by non other than George Marino (who worked with Jimi Hendrix, among others) and is available here
- Musical director for the Music B Lounge (Buonvini Weinlounge), in Zurich, where I put together a weekly program of top acts for three seasons
- The Bare Tunes, Acoustic Duo
- The singin’ guitar, Acoustic Solo project, with successful concerts in NYC, among other places, and an successful album “The singin’ guitar”, available here
Languages
Besides being a professional musician I’m also passionate about languages.
I’m multilingual. Tibetan is my first language, and as I was born in Switzerland I speak Swiss German and High German. In English, French and Italian I have the highest possible language diplomas. Furthermore, I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
