Where Independent Music Finds Its Voice

“If Trip-Hop existed in the late 60s/early 70’s, then it would sound a lot like this track. Funky and techno at the same time – it’s quirky and I dig it”

Vertel eens iets over jezelf, wie ben je en waar kom je vandaan?

I’m a half Danish, half-Belgian, and now live in Antwerp.

Hoe is je passie voor muziek ontstaan? Wie zijn je idolen?

One of my earliest memories is from when I was about 4 or 5: 2 uncles who were touring with a jazzband visited our house, and at one point they sat down at our piano playing 4-handed jazz …. I loved the whole atmosphere and still feel the excitement of that moment. Today I have a broad interest, with my private playlist including a.o. the Stones, DEUS, Gasolin, Massive Attack, Faithless, Charlotte De Witte, Sammy Davis Jr. and Miles Davis.

Wat voor soort muziek maak je?

Originally I have been playing guitar rock and pop, as well as more Jazzy things. During Corona, I discovered GarageBand. And I discovered it can be used not only to record, but also as a composing tool. So over the past 2 years I have been exploring the sounds and possibilities offered – which has lead to a number of tracks that I’m now dropping on Spotify. I don’t think of my music as a specific style. When I write on GarageBand I usually start from a beat and a bass-line, and then just see what happens. This far I’ve only released instrumentals on Spotify, but will add vocal led songs in future

Wat is voor jou het belangrijkste nummer? Welke boodschap wil je overbrengen aan de luisteraar?

Avatar, my first GarageBand-based track is special to me: I wanted to record a guitar ballad on IPad, but playing around first with synth sounds and beats in GarageBand, the track Avatar just wrote itself in a few hours. A farther loves all his children, but I guess this is special, because I am happy with the result, but also because it opened the door for a whole new style of writing and music to me

Waarom zou een luisteraar die jou niet kent naar je muziek luisteren?

A quote on one of my previous tracks by Shawn Carnes (BabaShareShow) says it best: “If Trip-Hop existed in the late 60s/early 70’s, then it would sound a lot like this track. Funky and techno at the same time – it’s quirky and I dig it”

Wat zijn je toekomstige projecten? Waar zie je jezelf over 5 jaar?

My target is to perform live on a big stage with this

Vertel onze lezers een grappige gebeurtenis in je carrière als artiest.

Not a story to brag about: one the first shows I did with a previous band was at a school bbq. At one point during the show a teacher stepped up to our singer and pointed at the microphone – we all guessed that he wanted to congratulate us. It turned out he just wanted to announce that the hotdogs were ready ….
