News January 14, 2010
I realize you haven't heard from me for quite a while now. So I wanted to take the time to, firstly, wish you a beautiful new year (never too late, right?). May it be a year of hope, love, positive change and good music!

I'm confused, very confused. I'm not going to bore you
with yet another story about the death of Michael Jackson or the way he
influenced me or my music. But there is one thing that
I need to get off my chest. Now, just a short news flash. If you're wondering why I
haven't posted the new track yet: the release has been
postponed, because the label wanted to make a remix of
the original track as well. But it won't take too long,
that I can assure you.
The gallery is finally ready and quite user friendly,
if I may say so ;)
I'm still working on my new tracks. At the moment I'm
satisfied about the development, but I'll have to wait
and see how things turn out. Hang around!
July 1, 2009 Today I've uploaded a video of the soundcheck at Amsterdam ArenA, in which I'm performing a cover of Adele's Chasing Pavements. You can check it out in the video section. June 4, 2009 Like last year, this year CherryFresh will be playing live during the dinner arrangements of Toppers in Concert in Amsterdam ArenA. Gigs are scheduled for June 12 and 13. Exciting! May 12, 2009 My collaboration with Manifesto resulted in a funky deep house track, which will be released on June 29 by Cloud 9 Music. February 11, 2009 Isn't this a perfect subject title for my first update this year? Yes, I too got infected by the Obama virus - but that can only be a positive thing! With so many changes on the way (on both micro and macro level), a simple website update wasn't sufficient anymore. So I decided to just launch a whole new one! I think this design reflects much better what my music stands for. You might think I'm just looking for ways to waste my time, but I can tell you that is surely not the case ;) At the moment I'm busier than ever... Remember I told you about how I was going to present my own radio show on the local radio focusing on youth issues? (Actually, you might have missed out on that one, because I posted it in Dutch - sorry!) Well, I did that for some time, and I enjoyed myself tremendously. But I felt like I was losing sight of the things that really mattered to me. So I moved on. Exploring new career paths I could follow and seeking ways to improve myself as an artist. So, let me recapulate what I've really been up to lately. First, it might seem like I haven't recorded anything throughout 2008, but truth is that I have been collaborating with several DJ/producers and today I heard that one of those projects (collabo with Manifesto) is going to be released by the record label! (MY FIRST RELEASE!) I think I can objectively say that the track turned out pretty awesome. It's a deep house track with a lot of power, soul and funk to it and just really feelgood in general. In a couple of weeks I will be able to tell you more about this release, so I'll definitely keep you updated. Second, some weeks ago I got hired as a vocalist for this kick-ass live lounge band, which exists of a DJ/Producer (well-known in the international and Amsterdam music scene - Jimmy Woo, Supperclub) and a male and female vocalist. We'll be performing solely new material that is written by the DJ himself. The songs have a downtempo/trip- hop/club and funk feel to them and the album is going to be released around May. Past weeks I've just been rehearsing like crazy for my first gig, but it's so much fun - you don't hear me complaining! Luckily it's a project that can be combined with CherryFresh, so that's pretty cool as well. So all these developments and changes inspired me to start songwriting again and new tracks are on the way! (Now that I've announced this, there is no way back!) It might sound cliché, but recently I've discovered a strong love for jazz. I don't know where it came from. I just know it makes me happy - and isn't that what matters? Anyhow, it's certainly an influence that you'll be hearing in the new material. I predict it will be pop with a jazzy flavour and a sprinkle of funk. Now, doesn't that sound yummy? Till soon!

Hot news, ladies and gents! My collaboration with Manifesto resulted in the funky deep house track "Let You Hold My Heart" (EP Single), which has been released on August 17 by Cloud 9 Dance / Musique Tranquille. There are also two remixes of the song available (Tribal Mix & Wavebasix Mix). You can check out the previews at the audio section and download the full tracks at 
The past couple of weeks have filled me with
fascination, horror and disappointment, because this
period sadly exemplified a condemnable side to the
psyche of mankind: you don't know what you've got till
it's gone (also sung by Joni Mitchell in 'Big Yellow
Taxi', ironically enough used as a sample in Janet Jacksons 'Got
'Til It's Gone'). Suddenly people who had always spoken
badly about Michael during his life, now couldn't get
their ass off iTunes or YouTube - because they had just
realized what a talent he was. 
It seems as if the world is not only in financial
crisis, but also in moral war. In hard times we need
someone to guide us, something to believe in - so most
of us turn to some form of religion. But bear in mind
that media is a blind religion. Don't be a follower.
Ask questions. Keep your own eyes, mind and heart open. Love.
