B I O G R A P H Y

Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to play the guitar, bang the piano, hit some drums. As a grown up kid, I started my very first band when I was 15. Later on I discovered the beauty of singing and how to teach it to other gifted kids. I started writing songs at the age of 15, and as a matter of fact I write songs in every possible style or form you may think of. At the age of 28, I obtained a Master Degree in Music Production, but specialised myself afterwards in the songwriting area. I do a lot of co-writing sessions for songs in Dutch, French, English, Spanish. If you want to hire me as a songwriter, feel free to contacttme! I have Master Degree in singing (Pop, Jazz), obtained in 2015 at the Conservatory of Ghent, now called KASK. I have been asked multiple times as a background singer for big productions, but I also dropped a few albums, an EP and some singles. Check out my Spotify account to listen what I already did! I often do radio jingles or tv commercials too, and a lot of stand-alone singing projects.

If you want to hire me as a singer for your project: contact me!
