In the late 1970’s, Vamos evolved around Pieter van der Kraan, a young and gifted musician and songwriter. In 1980, Pieter died of leukemia, leaving his friends and band members André Swinkels, Sidney Hill and Joy Catsburg behind, feeling devastated. Some twenty years later, they decided it was time for Pieter’s songs to live again. In 2001 I joined Vamos and we started recording Tribute, thus paying homage to Pieter and his music. I wrote I knew you all along on the Songbird album for Pieter – you can read the incredible story about how Tribute came to be on my blog: Weekly Notes #6 – I knew you all along

In 2007, I participated in Mary Gauthier’s MySpace project Sing Mercy Now, answering her call to musicians worldwide to sing her iconic song Mercy Now in their native language. I translated it into Dutch, and now there is finally a recording you can listen to – exclusively on SoundCloud!
