b-Jorn, was born in Geraardsbergen-Belgium on the 19.11.1979. The music vibe he got at the early age of 6 during lots of playback & soundmix competitions. His first theater & musical skills b-Jorn got during a training of 5 years at Theater Neon in Ghent-Belgium when he was only 10 years old.
After his years at the local Music Academy, 15 year old b-Jorn started a 2 year Musical - Entertainment education at the famous Showbizzschool in Ostend-Belgium. A talent scout (Niels William) noticed him during rehearsals of a live performance on Belgium..s biggest award show and b-Jorn was asked to become the leadsinger of a new boyband called “Boysbandâ€. Immediately from the start they got signed by Major recordlabel SONY-BMG.
During 4 busy years storming through the Belgian charts and making lots of teenager hearts run crazy, b-Jorn kept faithful to his diction & singing classes he followed with Steve Dugardin. Choreographer Axana Ceulemans kept on training with him modern dance and choreography.
After the “Boysband†split it looked that b-Jorn would choose for an anonymous life, but the music studio was never far away. The new b-Jorn not only had a new image but also another music style. The debut solo single “My oh My†sounded young & fresh. He took a 2 year break, but still was music the main part of his life. In 2003 b-Jorn got the chance to start working as a Showartist on the sunny spanish island of Majorca. Every night he brought together with an international cast professional LIVE shows as Moulin Rouge, Grease, Smokey Joe..s Café, Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing...
The last years b-Jorn had the privilege & the great honour to work with different international producers. During the late summer of 2005, he recorded 2 songs for his participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 selections for Belgium. Gerard James Borg (Malta) (ESC..00-..02-..04-..07) wrote the lyrics, Philip Vella (Malta) (ESC) and MÃ¥ns Ek (Monsito Music - Sweden) composed the music. Working together with these professional & talented people, went very smooth and nothing is standing in there way to work more together in the future.
