Biography

I am a free lance multi styles percussionist and music entrepreneur based in Amsterdam (NL). Since 1981 I recorded for ± 350 albums, countless jingles etc., played live and worked as a 'clinician'. These days 95% of the recordings are done in my 'Percussion Today Home Studio'. I use Logic Pro X in the studio. Vater and Meinl are the brands I play exclusively. Since 1998 I am the owner of Baileo Music Productions BV, a booking agency for live music and CD/VINYL/DVD label (± 60 releases). Artists I recorded for and/or played live with: Bruno Mars ('Versace On The Floor'), Michael Jackson ('Love Never Felt So Good' single), David Guetta, Mr. Probz, Gino Vannelli, Mezzoforte, Yellowjackets, Metropole Orchestra, George Duke, Jazz Orchestra Of The Concertgebouw, Pat Metheny, Toots Thielemans, Dado Moroni, Candy Dulfer, Stephen Emmer, Chaka Kahn, Frank McComb, 'A Bowie Celebration', Mike Garson, Gerry Leonard, Carmine Rojas, Adrian Belew, Alan Childs, Joe Sumner, Earl Slick, Corey Glover, Mr. Hudson, Sass Jordan, Bernard Fowler, Golden Earring.... ‘Percussion Loops HD’ App, available in the iTunes Store, is a vast library of (my) percussion sounds and loops. Since 2017 I am an 'official' ambassador for the Red Light Jazz Festival in Amsterdam. It is an honour to have been chosen 'Best Percussionist of the Benelux' 10 times by the readers of ‘Slagwerkkrant’. In the 2020 edition I was chosen #1 in the category 'All Time Favourite Benelux', and again I am honoured, and pleased!
