flin van hemmen

Hello, my name is Flin van Hemmen, I play the drums mainly, but also strum my guitar, I sing and hum, play the piano and whenever something within tells me I'm on to something, I try to make it into a song. Composing for me is a challenging process that involves beauty, loathing and frustration, satisfaction and fulfillment, and ultimately love, but that's just my answer for everything. /////////////// I grew up in Nijmegen, a town in the east of the Netherlands. After high school was dealt with I decided to move to Amsterdam for it seemed the right place and space to continue and develope expressing myself. I got to like Amsterdam very much and I am very grateful to have met, played and/or recorded with many great musicians such as Michael Moore, Michael Brecker, Nelson Veras, Jesse van Ruller, Peter Bernstein, Dick Oatts and others. However, New York was luring, and so I ventured ..d to Harlem, bought a set of drums and a guitar and am now starting to feel at home. Here I will continue to play, compose, read books, hang out, meet people and am sercetly preparing my overseas debut as a singer/songwriter. Enjoy
