In 1990 I started my musical career in local pubs and on small festivals as a solo artist. In 1994 I joined the populair Dutch Country Band “Alabama Rain”. With this band I had lots of succes in the European Country Scene. In 1995 we won the Euro Disney Country Music Award, The KRO (radio ) Pop & Country Award, and we were invited to play the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville TN.
The band opened for many, many artists like; Wanda Jackson, The Bellamy Brothers, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, The Tractors, Don Williams and others. Alabama Rain split up at the end of 1997, and I picked up my solo career.
In 1999 record company Nash Music signed me and made my dream come true, In januari 2001 I finally got the chance to start recording my solo album.
Thanks to my good friend Steven McClintock, I found the way to Nashville’s finest songwriters and within a couple of weeks I had more than 300 songs to choose from. Songs written by; Kent Blazy, Steve Mandile, Steve Seskin, Steve Wariner, Bill Anderson , Billy Kirsch, Victoria Shaw and others made it really hard to pick the right songs for the album.
One of the selected songs is a duet Steven McClintock wrote with Victoria Shaw and I am extremely proud that Victoria sings the female part of “Loved by you”.
Right now I'm working on a demo album!!
