Ampersand Music

22/01/2021

Where do I start …

My dearest Ampersand Music will come to an end but with endings come new beginnings.

So I am proud to announce that I will join forces with Busker Artist Agency, a part of All Things Live Denmark.
Busker has a pretty impressive roster, such as Selah Sue, STUFF., Coely, Zwangere Guy, Eefje de Visser, Gabriel Ríos (Official) to name a few, so Im very excited to continue my booking-journey here.
Also glad that my bands will join me there (♡).
Check out our full roster here: https://busker.be/

Im not the only one new at Busker, also Marcus Debalere (former promoter at Ancienne Belgique - AB and Trix / creative manager at Musicness (dEUS, Balathazar …)) and Willem Vandesande (All Eyes On Hip Hop / All Ears) will join me.

Dream-team if I may say so myself.

Last but not least, I want to thank each and every one of you for the support the past 5 years.

Before this starts to sound like a cheesy awards speech I would like to thank my bands, promoters, agencies, managers, pr-people, Simon Lamont, Philippe Van Leuven, Wouter JP Melotte, Mads D’Hulster, … and of course my family.

Future looks bright!! Hope to see you soon (come on Corona it’s time to raise the white flag and go home).
