Biography

Pascal Biegelaar is an 18-year-old guitarist born in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, and currently based in Orlando, Florida. Since beginning guitar at age 10, Pascal has demonstrated exceptional musical ability, quickly earning selection to the Middle School All-County Guitar Ensemble in his first year of playing and performing for audiences of over 200 people.

Recognized early for his talent and work ethic, Pascal’s instructors consistently praised his musical maturity, technical ability, and relentless drive to improve. These qualities have remained hallmarks of his development as a musician.

At age 14, Pascal joined the School of Rock in Orlando, where he gained extensive experience performing live with full bands. His level of commitment and preparation exceeded that of his peers, leading him to eventually leave the program to pursue more advanced musical opportunities.

Throughout high school, Pascal was enrolled in advanced orchestra and advanced guitar programs and was a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society. In addition to guitar, he plays electric bass, upright bass, cello, drums, and keyboards, giving him a well-rounded and versatile musical foundation.

In 2022, Pascal performed with Mark Wood—founder of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra—at the Apopka Amphitheater during the Electrify Your Strings (EYS) event. He played electric guitar alongside 400 orchestral musicians in front of an audience of 1,000. His performance impressed Mark Wood to such an extent that Pascal was personally invited to attend the Rock Orchestra Summer Camp without an audition.

In October 2024 and 2025, Pascal returned to perform with Mark Wood at Electrify Your Strings in Orlando, sharing the stage with 300 string players in front of 1,400 audience members.

Pascal’s musical influences include Paramore and Fall Out Boy, while his guitar heroes are Synyster Gates, John Petrucci, and Dimebag Darrell. His playing blends modern rock energy with technical precision and strong musicality.
