That is how singer Bram Vermeulen —a fine storyteller himself, mind you—once described me when we worked together, and he added: "That is usually with a slightly juicy Antwerp accent, even when he speaks English."

It is true. When I speak English, I usually sound more distinctly Antwerpian than in Dutch. That is also why I have always told stories and sung in my own mother tongue, the way I speak. I have toured, sung, or played music with Maarten Van Roozendaal, Bram Vermeulen, André Manuel, Raymond van het Groenewoud, KommilFoo, and others. I have created solo musical narratives in the most bizarre locations (in a working fountain, under a castle, among the dunes...) .

Due to circumstances, I haven't made music for a long time, but blood is thicker than water. There are new songs, and several more are on the way. And I'm going to play again too. As a duo, with a top musician.

My stories are getting time and space again, too. With Radio KAIET!, I am launching a podcast in 2027: featuring revamped old and sparkling new stories, tales, and fabrications. Can't wait.

With my warm voice, I want to guide families during their farewell ceremony wherever possible, letting them tell *their* stories during their second-to-last .
