Melle

A musician with too many instruments joins the freely accessible PHIL Foyer on Sunday afternoon.

Most proud of his huge collection of instruments consisting of a taishogoto, balalaika, theremin, zither and many more, Melle plays 23 different kinds on my album, so people call him a multi-instrumentalist. He just believes that real instruments bring more character to a song than digital sounds. You can see this analog vibe in my video's too, cause I love vintage camera's.

Over the past few years Melle managed to turn quite a few heads with his achievements. He won both the 'Nobel Award Leiden' and 'Mooie Noten', his single 'On The Road' made it into Spotify's Viral 50 NL charts, and his hit singles 'Run Run' and 'Old Summers' could not be ignored from the national radio. 'Run Run' and later single 'Can't Come Home' even made the top spot in Radio 2's V15 hitlist for several weeks.

On top of that he participated in the Dutch traveling festival 'Popronde', where he became one of the most booked acts of that year, opened for Charlie Winston, Ruben Hein and sold out his own show at Cinetol in Amsterdam and is a regular guest on Dutch Radio.
