Biography Who says pop music can’t have depth, be explosive and still remain catchy, appealing to young and old alike? Enter Werring…
Born and raised in The Netherlands, the brothers Erwin (vocals, sax) and Roeland (guitar) Werring are both trained musicians, who grew up on classical music, jazz and rock. In music they were out of ordinary successful at a very young age, for example they did their first European tour in a jazz band at the age of respectively 14 and 12 years old. Then back in 1999 they set up a studio and began writing, arranging, producing, performing (also drums, keys, bass, samples etc) and recording intelligent pop lyrics, financed by a lot of session work (studio & live) with a variety of acts, including legendary soul artists Sister Sledge.
Two years ago Werring got signed by a daughter label of Universal in the US (together with EMI Music Publishing), so the brothers moved to the US. Their debut album incorporates everything from heavy rock, disco, electro and of course pop – all blended to pop/rock perfection and masterfully recorded and produced in Hollywood LA by the legendary Mike Shipley. As a mixer or producer Mike’s records have sold in excess of 700 million units worldwide. Successes include Shania Twain, Def Leppard, Faith Hill, The Sex Pistols, AC/DC, Aerosmith, India.Arie, Tom Petty, Shawn Colvin, Green Day, The Cars, The Corrs, Van Halen, Nickleback, Kelly Clarkson and countless others. The record is finished and the label in the US wants to keep it on a hold until the time is right (very common in the US known examples are Kelis and Maroon 5), however Werring is allowed to do a release in their home country, which is very important to them!
Werring’s debut single, “How to run the show” is an instant pop smash. Whilst taking its lead from past elements of Duran Duran and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, it manages to sound extraordinarily current and addictively catchy – all embellished in ultra-sleek music production. It’s an innovative slice of modern pop music.
Werring dispense with the pop star names, games and stereotypes and instead deliver music with huge crossover appeal. It seems the world of pop music is about to get more interesting. Werring is interesting.
