I’m a Manchester-based musician — born in the gritty South of the Netherlands, uprooted from everything familiar, stormed into the city to live my wildest dream. Crafting music that hits you right in the chest.

It started with a concert. Paul McCartney, Antwerp, 2003. I walked out knowing exactly what I needed to do with my life. I picked up a guitar and never put it down. Then in 2009, watching Oasis in Cologne, the decision was made: Manchester. No half-measures.

I’m a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. My sound is a blistering fusion of guitar-driven pop and rock — classic vibes that echo the greats, spiked with modern edge. Every riff, every lyric, every damn note gets everything I’ve got.

My songs are built on hooks that stick with you, harmonies that lift you up, and a roaring guitar that’s the heartbeat of it all. Listeners describe their mood after a Julience track as happy, energised, excited, optimistic — and thoughtful. That range? That’s intentional.

I draw on the classic sounds of British and American rock — Oasis, The Beatles, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Springsteen, Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy. Comparisons have ranged from Rush and Journey to Fall Out Boy and Maroon 5. Make of that what you will. The music just is what it is.
