Dutch artist: Waylon

in music •  5 years ago 

There is this 'enfant terrible' in the Dutch music scene and he is called Waylon. Although he isn't that terrible anymore, he has cooled down I guess.

Waylon is one of those 'real' artists, and with that I mean that he is pure, a musician with a incredible voice.
He started his dutch career in the show "Holland got talent" but I had saw him already before that.

Waylon had played one time in our former hometown Zutphen, before he was even famous. My good friend Danny Samar did the programming of his band in a local bar. One day he had asked some friends over from Arnhem and one of them was Waylon when he still was a amateur singer. Great to see him grow this way, he is now one of the most respected singers in Holland.

Waylon more and more showed his passion for country, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. (He got his name as a ode to Waylon Jennings). And he does a very good job playing those songs..I get goosebumbs hearing him sing and play....

The power just a voice and a guitar can bring, isn't it awesome.. I can listen it for hours.... Drifting away in the story he tells with his song.....

Waylon is a often asked musician / singer for radio shows. He has played a lot of covers which, with his voice , sounds even better then the original in most cases. His edgey voice...

Waylon often visited two Dutch talkshows to talk about his musical influences like Johhny Cash. When Humerto Tan (talkshow host) had to leave the show Waylon played a goodbye song for him. Humerto got real emotional by it, it touched me too cause that's what I often have written about "Music is emotion"....and it is...

The emotion of Humerto says it all....... Music from and to the heart....

The final song I wanna share is "Man in the mirror" of Michael Jackson.... He sings this song as the song is meant to be...
Powerfull, you believe just every word he sings....

I am truely convinced of the fact that he is one of holland's most gifted singers with international potential....

Tell me, what do you think of him ?

Have a great night,

Peter

Wow, those are some great songs to cover. Michael Bolton does have a pretty gravely voice. I would say Waylons is a bit more pure. Especially on the cover of how am I supposed to live without you. Being named after Waylon, you pretty much knew he was going to either be a dog or a singer :) I know a lot of people with dogs named Waylon :)

Hahah really ,didn't knew the dog name. But he sure has a great voice.

Not heard of him, but he has a great voice.

Yes he does,doesnt he... pure and unique in my opinion.

Indeed one of the greater dutch singers with lots and lots of potential. I still find it a bit strange that he still is placed in the shadow of that singer from the east.
