Early on, he lived with his mother at his grandmother's place, because his father was captured and transported to Germany.

Because his father, a fire chief, was mostly away from home, his grandmother largely took care of Muskee.

When he discovered the album Live at Newport by John Lee Hooker, he decided that he also wanted to make this kind of music.

Ultimately, the original name Cuby + Blizzards proved to be the most catchy and under this name, assisted by the Groningen guitarist Erwin Java (since 1986),[1] Muskee toured for many years.
