DUTCH RADIO SHOW hosted by DJ Funk-O-Nots. ;
DJ Funk-O-Nots was born in The Netherlands in 1961
with an open mind and an ear for music cultivated by his
grandfather and parents.
He grew up listening to Motown, the Beatles, Bossa Nova, and Jazz.
Around 1973, a new soul radio program started in the Netherlands
that enabled him to hear the latest sounds from Philly, Stax, Motown
and the U.S. R&B charts overall.
He liked what he heard and became a lifelong fan of soul music.
His vinyl habit began with The Blackbyrds' Walking In Rhythm (1974).
He added to his collection as often as possible.
Only a couple years later at 16 years old, he attended his first concert,
Average White Band with Ben E. King.
It satisfied his childhood desire to witness artists creating music live onstage.
By 1980 Funk-O-Nots managed to witness his musical hero,
bassist Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson, perform live in
Amsterdam with the Brothers Johnson.
As fate would have it, he was formally introduced to Louis 26 years later
in Maryland after a gig.
The two remained in contact and Funk-O-Nots eventually became
moderator of Louis' Myspace page

So you never know where a musical journey can take you!
In the late 1970s, the young soul lover began DJ'ing in clubs,
playing his favorite funky tunes.
Once disco supplanted funk and soul on the club scene,
he delved deep into Fusion. In the 1990s, he became a radio presenter,
spinning the best in soul, fusion and funky tunes.
By 2002, he was interviewing legends and promising soulful artists.
He wanted to give them the opportunity to tell the stories behind the
songs and enable fans to heir their favorite musicians speak.
Funk-O-Nots music taste leans heavily toward tunes with a strong melody,
groove and swing. He lives by the motto,"don't let your ears lie to you!"
He loves to share music, keep an open mind, and enjoy the ride!!
He is looking forward to doing some great SOULINTERVIEWS
and giving the musicians the respect they deserve.
So to all Soulfiles listeners and Soulinterviews readers,
stay healthy and greatings from the Netherlands!
