Biography

I am a Dutch singer-songwriter with a mild form of autism.

In 2012 I took part in the Dutch television program "Niks te gek" (Nothing too crazy), in which people with intellectual disabilities could make their dream wishes come true. My wish was to record 1 of my self-written songs with the Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA. This caused worldwide fame.

Then I founded the online international symphonic / melodic rock / metal cover group FBCV (Full Band Cover Version), where I am in the choir part as a tenor / baritone singer and in the band part as a grunter and screamer. This group is mainly active on Facebook and YouTube.

I was also part of the Dutch singing duo Ben & Ruurd (from March 2016 to 31
 December 2017 and from 1 January 2020 to 3 August 2020) with my good friend Ben de Ruiter. We released the album "Voor altijd" (Forever), some digital singles and some video clips.

On September 7th, 2021 I released my first Dutch studio album "Anders dan anders" (meaning: Different than usual).
