I'm a Singer/Composer/Producer/Lyricist/Pianist and I have released 7 albums and am working on the next one. I speak English, French, Dutch, German and Spanish, so I can work and write lyrics in different languages as well. I really like a mixture of influences in the music I'm working on and I'm open for a lot of styles. The sky is the limit;-)
