A lot of water has flown under the bridge since Spring 2020: for the world, for everyone I know, in my own life and also in terms of DJ'ing. Wisely, I'll stick to the latter topic here. Off the top of my head, I know that all the gigs already booked went down the drain from March 2020: venues big and small closed their doors, weddings were endlessly postponed, and my head wasn't in the party mood for a while either.

Eventually, in 2022 and 2023, I spinned wonderfully and intensely again at (amongst other gigs) the Summertime Festival at De Grote Markt in The Hague, in July 2023 at the North Sea Jazz Festival and in the spring of 2024 at the Transition Festival in Tivoli and at the beloved JazzFest in Amsterdam.

After that, my life took a very special turn that prevented me from performing for several months. However, Sunday 11 January 2025 was equally special because that's when I took my place behind the “turntables” again for the first time, and it was great! After that I was able to build it up quietly and since April I have had all kinds of wonderful DJ gigs again, now behind me and still to come. In addition to the beloved monthly series in De Dillewijn in Ankeveen. Biggest surprise here is that I was recently invited (for the 5th time!) to the North Sea Jazz Festival, for Sunday, July 13 2025.

I am happy and grateful, so please have a look at my diary to find out where I can be found!

Already more than a month into the year 2020, I'd like to express my gratitude to all the kind people, organizations and jazzfestivals who have booked me in the past year of 2019! Because of them I can now look back at so many fun moments, sharing beautiful REAL music with dancers and listeners alike. Let's continue honoring and celebrating the musical treasures from the past, let's not forsake our musical educators, we need them now as much as we ever did. 

June 23rd, 2013, I was a guest DJ at the Dutch National Radio, station Radio 6. I was there in the 2nd half of the show.

You can hear the show back via 'uitzending gemist' at this site: radio6.nl/wickedjazzsounds

Having fun at Dutch Radio once more, full hour this time!

The day I spinned at the great North Sea Jazz Festival, I first came to the radio studio.

Radio 6 interviewed me and there was time to share three beautiful pieces of music! : radio6.nl/video/show/north-sea-jazz-interviews/69845

So happy and so proud to be joining many of my very favorite jazz- and soul 'stars' and artists at my favorite festival: North Sea Jazz. I'll be spinning Sunday afternoon, July 13th at the TIGRIS Roof-stage from 3.30 till 6 pm: northseajazz.com/nl/programma/2014/zondag-13-juli/blokkenschema

Of course I also do private events as a DJ. They are not visible in the agenda. Oftentimes they are very inspiring too! September 20th I supported 1500 Metalworkers on a strike in Rotterdam with my music.

The day after I DJ'd at a very intimite party to just 'Celebrate Life' in a beautiful villa in the middle of the forrests, love that pinetree smell!
