About Me

Phinx (Vincent Beijer) started making music on the piano. After years of playing in bars and restaurants he decided to study music technology, just to be able to record music. After graduation Phinx found his way back behind the piano, started playing gigs and joined talent contests, with unexpected success. After winning Mooie Noten, Geheim van Utrecht and Best Musician at the prestigious Grote Prijs van Nederland he started recording his debut album ‘Good times ragtimes’. Between 2007 and 2009 Phinx worked at ease on this project. The challenge: how to capture the acclaimed energetic live repertoire? The answer: by taking time in a small home studio. So what is Phinx?
