Biografie: The sound of silence was founded in may 2007 and started actually as a funny way of wasting time or even a joke. But soon the 4 adolescent musicians of TsoS started to make some songs and not long after that, there was a small fanbase of friends and family in their hometown in Temse, who are today, still loyal. Despite their huge lack of time, they've been able to produce almost 15 songs (guitar/vocals/keyboard/piano). Recently, the members of TSoS decided to rename the band into 'Unpayable'. The band alse found 2 musicians (drums and bass), who are willing to play along with Unpayable.
Bit by bit they start to get popular even more in their hometown and in some parts of Belgium (mainly due of good relations with others), but they have still a long way to go!
Ferre: Ferre does the lead vocals of Unpayable. He was born on 22 October 1989. When he was 1, his parents moved to Sint-Niklaas and eventually to Temse, where he still lives and went to school. This school has played an important factor in the founding of Unpayable and in his life, because there he met his friends and Yoon. Ferre is now doing his higher educations. He studies Facility Management at the Sint-Lieven College in Sint-Niklaas. Next year he will probably study the same thing as Yoon, Social/Welfare Work at the Artevelde College in Ghent (Gent). With the band, he wants to make fun, move people, literally and figuratively and most of all, spend a lot of good time with his friends
Yoon: Yoon is one of the 2 guitarplayers of Unpayable. He and Kimoy still haven't figured out who does the leadguitar and who does the rythmguitar. He was born on 11 October 1988 in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. He lived his entire life in Temse, where you can bump right into him even today. In contrast with Kimoy, Yoon did a musical education for about 2 years and a half, but he had to stop because of schoolduty's. He combines the techniques he learned at the music academy with those he learned by himself, wich gives him his distinctive way of playing guitar on both the acoustic as the electric guitar. Fingerpicking rocksongs are his trademark mixed up with a dreamy and melancholic tone wich brings everyone in a certain mood. His classical education has a certain influence and in particularly Johann Sebastian Bach. He also likes to play some of the heavier shit like Nu-metal, grunge, metal, metalcore, hard-rock, punk, and so on... These heavy influences are clearly audible, even in the acoustic songs of Unpayable. He's also a backgroundsinger. Yoon studies Social/Welfare Work at the Artevelde College in Ghent (Gent)
Kimoy: Kimoy is the 2nd guitarplayer of Unpayable. He was born on 22 April 1987 in Wilrijk, Belgium. He has Indonesian roots. Nowadays he lives in Temse. Kimoy went to the K.A. of Sint-Niklaas. Kimoy learned to play the guitar about 5 years ago, all by himself, and the internet of course. Kimoy has some great skills in playing guitar, he learned fingerpicking in the correct way without doing musical studies, wich requires some great skills. He too has a very distinctive way of playing guitar and along with Yoon, they come up with the brightest and most beautiful of tones and the hardest killerriffs you ever heard. Kimoy now undertakes his education as a soldier in the Belgian Army.
Ariane: Ariane was born on 8th of december, 1991, wich makes her the youngest member of Unpayable.
She lives partially in Temse and partially in Sint-Niklaas, because of her divorced parents. She has one sister.
She met Ferre and Yoon at school, 'K.A. Temse', where she still goes to school. She currently undergoes her last year in secondary school and studies 'Modern languages - Sciences'. She's not yet sure what she wants to study later on, but she has still some time to think about it.
Her musical experiences began about 8 years ago, when she started to play piano at the musicacademie. At the end of this year (solopiano and quatre mains) she will be graduated at school and at the musicacademie.
Ariane is a very social and busy girl, who likes to hang out with friends, listen to good music, make (good) music, and so on. She's also interested in literature and likes animals a lot.
Frank: Frank, the drummer of Unpayable, has a long history of playing drums in several bands. He played in 'New Castle Brown', 'The act', 'The point', 'Virgin', 'Realititi' and in 'Albert (et les frères)', known from the singles 'De Weerwolf' en 'De Sexy Stofzuigverkoper'. Nowadays he plays also in several bands, like 'Locomotive breath', 'Last minute', 'Remis verloren zonen' and of course, 'Unpayable'.
Currently he works, just like Marc, for the Belgian traincompany, NMBS.
Frank likes humour a lot and he's always joking around, even on stage, so don't be surprised if he puts up some weird act. He may look old, but don't be fooled. He kicks and batters on his drums like no one else (not even Lars Ulrich). He also likes to throw his drumsticks to guitarplayers who mess a gig up (really!!!).
Marc: Marc was born on 22 January 1959. He started playing bass, influenced by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jetro Tull en Yes. His first band when he was 18, named 'Alfa', had some succes in those days. When he was 22 he quit the band and got married. He has a son and a daughter who are today 20 and 22 years old. After some years he joined another band named 'Mea Culpa'. With 'Mea Culpa' he recorded a demo en eventually a Cd. They even mad it to the quarterfinals of the rockrally. After five years of existence it was game over for 'Mea Culpa' because their Keyboardplayer quit the band to go solo with succes (Svenson). Currently he works for the Belgian traincompany, NMBS, and there he met Patrick and Frank. Together with Patrick and Frank they came up with a new band, 'Locomotive Breath'. Because Frank ended up with us as our drummer, and we needed a bassplayer really bad he asked Marc for joining Unpayable. He agreed immediately and likes what the young bastards of Unpayable are doing.
