The Suited Singer Stylish crooner with a velvet voice and timeless charm

For events where I do not provide my own PA, the organizer should ensure a high-quality sound system suitable for the venue. This includes:

- PA system with external speakers, mixing desk, vocal microphones, and all necessary cabling
- A sound technician to manage setup, connections, and operation
- 1–2 vocal monitors or the ability to connect my personal in-ear monitor (Stagg SPM-435)
- Stage area adaptable to venue size

If I bring my own sound system, I require **two separate 230V power outlets** (16A, grounded) within close range of the stage. These must comply with standard Dutch safety regulations.

All technical needs will be discussed and confirmed in advance to ensure smooth coordination.

To prepare thoroughly and ensure a smooth performance, I kindly request the following information in advance:

- Full address of the venue
- Indoor or outdoor setting
- Size and shape of the performance area or room
- Availability of power outlets near the stage (if I provide sound)
- On-site contact person (name and phone number) for the day of the event

This helps me tailor the setup, sound, and staging to your specific location and avoid any last-minute surprises.

One of the most unforgettable gigs I’ve ever done was performing in front of 20,000 people at the GelreDome in Arnhem. The sheer energy of such a massive audience was electric, and sharing that moment as a solo vocalist was both humbling and exhilarating. It’s an experience I’ll never forget — a true highlight in my career.

In contrast, some of the most rewarding performances have been at exclusive private events, where intimacy and connection take center stage. Whether it's a luxury wedding or a gala dinner, I find great joy in tailoring the atmosphere with elegance and emotion.

My favourite type of event is an elegant dinner or luxury gathering where music adds a warm, sophisticated touch to the evening. I love performing crooner classics, timeless oldies, heartfelt ballads, and powerful musical theatre pieces in a refined setting. It’s in these moments — where atmosphere and artistry meet — that the magic truly happens.

I started performing at a young age, singing in theatre productions and musical ensembles. Over the years, I’ve developed my voice and stagecraft through countless performances, both in intimate venues and on major stages. One of my proudest moments was singing solo for 20,000 people at the GelreDome — a surreal and unforgettable experience.

My journey as a solo vocalist truly began when I embraced the classic crooner style. Inspired by artists like Frank Sinatra and Josh Groban, I created The Suited Singer: a refined musical experience tailored for weddings, corporate events, and luxury occasions. Since then, I’ve been honoured to perform at high-end events across the Netherlands and beyond.

I’ve been deeply influenced by artists who combine timeless elegance with emotional depth. Michael Bublé has shaped much of my vocal style — his smooth delivery and stage presence are a true inspiration. I also draw a lot from Josh Groban, whose powerful, heartfelt performances have had a profound impact on me.

If I had to choose one all-time greatest song, it would be “You Raise Me Up.” It’s not only beautifully written, but it also captures the emotion and upliftment that I strive to bring to every performance. Singing that song never fails to move both myself and the audience.

I typically arrive 60 to 90 minutes before the event to set up and do a short soundcheck. My standard performance includes 1 to 3 sets of 30 minutes each, with short breaks in between if needed. All performances are fully tailored to the event’s schedule and atmosphere.

Yes, I’m happy to perform outside, as long as there is adequate cover to protect me and the equipment from rain or direct exposure. A dry, sheltered setup is essential for the safety and quality of the performance.

I work with a versatile and carefully curated repertoire, and I’m happy to involve clients in the selection process. You’re welcome to share your musical preferences or the desired vibe of your event, and I’ll tailor the set accordingly. On the day itself, I always read the room and adjust the repertoire to match the atmosphere and audience. Flexibility and connection are key to a memorable performance.

"We had this singer at our Christmas dinner in the nursing home for our residents. Really good singer with beautiful Christmas songs but also general song

Most of my songs are in English, but I also perform in Dutch when appropriate — especially for weddings, local festivals, and audience participation moments.

Both! I can deliver a soft, stylish musical backdrop for dinners and receptions, or take the spotlight with a more dynamic and engaging performance — depending on your event’s needs.
