Biography

I won’t bother you with the rather uninteresting story of my youth, which can be narrowed down to only seven words : “Poltrock, you are a lousy football player”. My musical career, however, took off in 1999 when I joined Belgium’s finest band Hooverphonic to play keyboards on an extensive series of American and European tours.

My good looks (yep! watch the pics!) and vast collection of Single Malt whiskeys quickly made me an esteemed player in Belgian live and session scene, resulting in gigs and recordings with a wide variety of well-respected Belgian and international artists.

After a bad landing on my head while stagediving at a No Means No gig, I decided I wanted to become the best producer in the world.  So I took on a couple of mainstream as well as indie producing jobs in order to become very, very, very rich. Some of those strangely received huge radio airplay and charted. And I would indeed have made an awful lot of money if I hadn’t spent it all on tons of vintage keyboards and a Nigerian banker with a suspiciously German accent.

Next to the hired gun jobs, I’ve been spending a lot of time in putting my own band, 'Savalas’, on track as well as an Anglo-Belgian project named ‘Mindbox’ featuring Faithless’ Andy Treacy and Groove Armada’s Jonathan White . Finally there’s ‘A still nameless and extremely sexy ’70 movie project’ with Hülk singer Renaud Mayeur.

Oh and I forgot to tell you that I’m a songwriter and soundtrack writer as well with most beautiful tracks featured on various Belgian releases. Feel free to listen to some of my recent productions or to click on some of the links.
