A MysterE

Music That Goes Through Your Spine

About Me

A MysterE has been playing the guitar for 16 years, but hadn't performed his own tunes in front of an audience until about two years ago. Since then, he has developed himself as a soul searcher through his lyrics. Autobiographical? Sometimes, but he goes deep. Not odd, then, that he characterizes his songs as "Music that goes through your spine," cause that's exactly what they do, in a style he compares to a melting pot of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley George Harrison and Paul Weller. Go see him and listen to his breathtaking songs, who recently was the musical guest in the Christmas show of Dutch comedian Margreet Dolman at the Betty Asfalt Complex in Amsterdam. In March A MysterE made his well earned debut at the famous Engelenbak Theater, at the Open Bak and a couple of days later he had his first National Paper review in Het Parool. A bit later he got much acclaim with his anti-Bush/Iraq war song ..Impeach the President.., you can even download the demo (mp3) through the official site of Neil Young (http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html) where it is has been in various chart positions.

Here's the live debut of one of my most recent songs, called 'Lost', recorded by Luke Nyman Music Productions, March 30th, 2007 @ the Open Mike Night at ABC-Treehouse in Amsterdam:
