Hello and welcome!
My name is Merel Bechtold and on this site you will find all the information about my work.
I’ll keep it short. I play in bands, write and arrange music, I tour as a session musician, I teach guitar, I manage my band DEAR MOTHER and I am a marketing enthusiast. I’ve dedicated basically most of my life to music.
Here you’ll find some of the projects I’ve been involved in. I’ve produced some, recorded some, played some and written some. This is not a list of things I’ve done completely on my own, but things I’e been involved with in some way or another.
If you wanna hire me for work please send me an email: info@merelbechtold.com
