Behind the Music
Dutch songwriting,
Nashville musicianship.
The songs start in a shed in the Netherlands. Late nights, an acoustic guitar and a notebook. But from 2026 onwards, they get finished alongside the people who shape some of the best modern country sounds in the world.
Production by Peter Ferguson, touring guitarist for Riley Green, with credits on records by Ella Langley and David Nail. Real session players. Real amps and microphones. Banjo, fiddle and pedal steel that actually breathe.
No Nashville aesthetic. Just Nashville craft, in service of songs that stay honest.

“I'm going through a rough patch in my life, and I'm trying to be stronger and rise again. I listen to this song every day while I ride my motorcycle. I'm from Colombia, but when I listen to this song, it transports me, and the lyrics fill my soul.”
Listener from Colombia · Better Than Before
“Best song I heard this year. These lyrics man, GEEZ! Going through a similar situation in my life, I can totally relate to these feelings. A big shout out from Brazil. I really hope you get lots of visibility, you deserve it! I'll be the one saying “I was there in the beginning.””
