Songwriter

I started to write songs since I was 12 years old. But since 2001 that I began to see it as a professional occupation. Just like composing, writing songs and creating them gives me energy! I love the process of writing! Over the years I’ve written a lot of lyrics and songs. Since 2010 I’m a member of the Guild of International Songwriters & Composers. And some of my songs got a recommended entry awards in renowned international songwriting contests and one of them ended in a quarter final in the UK. In 2019 one of my songs reached the semifinal in the Song of the year contest (USA).

Below you’ll find a short list of my portfolio as a songwriter, sorted by music styles. More info on sound files, lyrics and more songs please contact me. Some songs don’t have an audiolink, because this songs are not published by me as a singer/songwriter. They are waiting for a suitable artist / band, perhaps that’s you! Contact me if you’re interested!

Children’s songs (Dutch):

Ga je mee
Heuvel op en af
Oh egeltje
Sinterklaas is op bezoek
Wie hoort er bij mijn familie
Zoveel kleuren om ons heen
Maar je kan ook lopen
Hiep hiep hoera
Elke dag winter
Naar de zon
Feest voor elk dier
Kerstmis is een feest voor groot en klein
Beer is zijn leesbril kwijt
