Multi-genre award winning producer, musician and composer with over 25 years of experience that has played keyboards and synths for multiple artists that combined have over 50 million streams on Spotify. I also have produced full instrumentals for big labels like Universal, BMG, Warner Chappell and have composed for film and media.
Hi! Im Rein and Im a musician with over 25 years of experience in the music industry. I am a cum laudegraduate of the prestigious Royal Conservatory Of The Hague where I got my Masters Degree.
I love playing and touring with Dutch artists like Sabrina Starke, who is a multiple Edison Award winner, and TOINE. Both of them get around 10 million Spotify streams per track.
I have a lot of experience writing full instrumental audio tracks for sync agencies and music libraries such as Universal, BMG, Warner Chappell and ALIBI Music. This required me to deliver high quality instrumentals, mixed and mastered and ready for tv broadcasts, streaming platforms, brand songs and sound logos.
In my studio I have a collection of analog synths. Fender Rhodes and Pianet also can bring something special to a track.
I also have a collection of soft synths that sound amazing, I usually search for a special sauce that's makes the sound feel analog and real.
Over the years Ive had the pleasure to work with musicians who have played with artists like Herbie Hancock, Prince, Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Scott Henderson and many more.
Feel free to contact me if you need some keys for your tracks, or if you need full instrumental productions.
Im fast, adaptive and super easy to work with, and I am determined to continue until you are super happy with the result.
Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

One word: WONDERFUL

I have had the pleasure to record with Rein on several occacions including his trio cd. As a musician and composer/arranger it is a joy working with him. Craftmanship, playing with great ease and pure joy is how I would summon his playing. Besides being a very kind and humorius kind of guy.

Rein is surely an outstanding musician. I had the privilege of working with him for many years, and he is by far one of the most talented and dedicated musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of collaborating with

Working with Rein is smooth and very pleasant. Rein's playing is adventurous and very individual, recognizable. Something that's no longer a given these days. I always listen to his harmonic discoveries with amazement and pleasure.

Rein Godefroij is a musical heavyweight of a caliber rarely encountered.
He is extremely versatile, plays with exceptional taste, and always manages to penetrate the musical essence.
His instrumental possibilities seem limitless, but his virtuosity always serves the music.
It is a true pleasure to work with him.
In the studio Rein is very easy and pleasant to work with. He has a great feeling for arrangement and his sounds are always tasteful. On stage I heard him play mind blowing solos, making my life behind the foh desk a joy!

Rein is a modest man with an incredibly creative mind. Capable of skillfully crafting a simple song, taking it apart, unraveling it, and developing it further, he's the ultimate instant composer. He masters the art of applying his vast musical talent at the right moments, while omitting unnecessary musical details is equally important to him. Never theatrical, never bombastic, always intensely musical.

Rein is one of the most versatile players in the field! Always surprising me with his sounds and inventive phrases. Besides that he is very reliable and maybe most importantly: very fun to work with! Would love to go for a signature Rein-album one day...

Rein is one of the most creative keyboard players I’ve ever worked with! His skill, timing and creativity are something I’ve never heard before in my life. Rein plays like you never heard before, he is truly something else. And he is one of the nicest guys out there. Expect great things and you get more!
