I had the pleasure of meeting Hayko Cepkin, who will be headlining the festival. We already talked about doing something together during that show and I'm really looking forward to that!
We also did a great photoshoot with renowned photographe... (22 comments) Read more

Hi everybody,

Yesterday I played my new single Sunny Side Up live at Giel Beelen's morning show on Radio 3FM. Bert Selen at L.A. based Reach Interactive made an upbeat single edit. It's a great new arrangement and I love playing it live. Check the video here. All profits of the single will be going to Chile. You can download it at the Nokia Music Store and also on i...

Chile - Portugal - The Netherlands

Thursday, March 4th 2010

As I sit in the beautiful surroundings of the Algarve (Portugal) with my family,
I thought I'd give you a quick update on what's going on.

It's been about 10 years since Rob and I actually took a week's vacation. I must say: it's a strange feeling driving around in a foreign country without having to play a show :-)

First of all: I'm still shocked by the aftermath of ... (22 comments) Read more

Dear friends,

I'm happy to give you a quick update on what is going on.
