Биография

Alternative singer-songwriter WHYBE avoids glorification and tries to expose the flipsides of glorified themes like love. With his hollow eyes, virtuoso voice and gloomy appearance he knows how to bring his spectators to another dimension. WHYBE wants you to acknowledge the dark, unmentioned underlayer of this life. Nowadays everything is focused on short, quick happiness. In contrast, he wants to show you the beauty of the suffering, the melancholy and the bleak simplicity via his songs. For WHYBE it all began when he won the contest Kunstbende Limburg at 18 years old. In that same year he wrote, recorded and co-produced his first EP called 'WHYBE' with producer Elwin de Vries. In 2019 he went to France with his electric guitar player, which resulted in another EP: 'Under The Truth'. These low-fi, mystical songs for this EP were written in solitude, in a village near the Mont Ventoux. Next to that he has released several singles, some of which he recorded himself in his home studio. In 2019 WHYBE was selected for the dutch touring festival 'Popronde', with which he achieved a lot of positive response. And this year he was selected for the Grote Prijs van Nederland, played at Maifeld Derby in Mannheim and will play at festival Bruis in Maastricht this September. WHYBE just recorded his first full-length album with his new formed band, which will be released in 2024. He is on his way to a become a sophisticated singer-songwriter with a solid, subtle band behind him.
