After studying at the pop/jazz department of the well-known Conservatory of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) i received my bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance in 2000. Next to that i founded music production company GEMINI Music and started working as a backingvocalist/keyboardist for many big national and international artists (a.o. Oleta Adams, Jocelyn Brown, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Candy Dulfer, Ruth Jacott, Ron Moss a.k.a. Ridge Forrester, Gordon).

In 2004 i was signed at Universal Music Publishing as a songwriter, writing hits for several big local Dutch acts like 'Do' - top 10 hit, 'Ch!pz' - no.1 hit for 5 five weeks, 'Idols' - top 20. In the beginning of 2006 the first international break was a fact: the song '1001 Arabian Nights' (Ch!pz) became a huge hit in Germany (3), Switzerland (2) and Austria (2). After that i cut songs on a.o. German pop/rock artist Sandy (No Angels), German superstar Yvonne Catterfeld and the most succesful dance act at the moment, Cascada (album sales exceeding more than 1.000.000 copies worldwide, platinum UK).

The last two years i did co-writes with a.o. Per Aldeheim (Nick Carter/Def Leppard), Magnus Fridh, Michael Garvin (J-Lo, George Benson), Michelle Leonard (Nu Pagadi/Mike Leon Grosh), Tjeerd Oosterhuis (Total Touch/K-otic), Christian Neander (Selig/Echt), Patric Jonsson (Westlife), Novel Jannusi & David Clewett, Natasha Thomas, Sandy Moelling, Tony Cornelissen (Di-rect/Sita), 'Jock-E' Bjorklund (Holly Valance/Dannii Minogue), DJ Manian (Cascada), DJ Yanou (Cascada), Vacuum (Rachel Stevens/Alcazar) and Niara Scarlet (Sugababes).

At the moment GEMINI Music is expanding its musical horizon, focusing on writing/producing 'hot' tracks for international artists in different styles. I am always looking for new interesting collaborations...so don't hesitate to contact me! Try the MySpace Ticker or just send me an email.
