A MysterE has been playing the guitar for 14 years, but hadn't performed his own tunes in front of an audience until about three years ago. Since then, he has developed himself as a soul searcher through his lyrics. Autobiographical? Sometimes, but he goes deep. Not odd he characterizes his songs as "Music that goes through your spine," cause that's exactly what they do.
In a style he compares to a melting pot of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley George Harrison and Paul Weller. Go see him and listen to his breathtaking songs.
He was the musical guest in the Christmas show of Dutch comedian Margreet Dolman at the Betty Asfalt Complex in Amsterdam. A MysterE made his well earned debut at the famous Engelenbak Theater, at the Open Bak and a couple of days later he had his first National Paper review in Het Parool.
A bit later he got much acclaim with his anti-Bush/Iraq war song ‘Impeach the President’, you can even download the demo (mp3) through the official site of Neil Young where he made it on to the 34th position of this ‘chart’. In the meantime he performed no less than 50 times in 2006. This year his work of songs is broadening and so are his shows, incl. where he performs, all over The Netherlands, and when he gets the chance also abroad. Recently he has performed twice live on radio station AmsterdamFM. At the end of July A MysterE has made his well earned debut at the legendary concert hall the Paradiso in Amsterdam where many of his musical heroes have preceded him.
