The son of classical musicians, he started out playing cello and piano at a young age, but it was hearing Angus Young of AC/DC that inspired him to start playing the guitar.[5][6] He was raised in the suburbs of Chicago, in Orland Park, but has lived in New York City since 2001.


Hoekstra has performed with Trans-Siberian Orchestra[7] and was the lead guitarist in the Broadway musical, Rock of Ages.[8] He also made a cameo appearance alongside Sebastian Bach, Nuno Bettencourt, Kevin Cronin and Debbie Gibson in the big screen movie adaptation of Rock of Ages.[9]
