WHO YOU WERE BEFORE

Who You Were Before

GUY BALBAERT
Songwriter/Lyricist/Singer/Vocal coach/World Traveller and Entrepreneur

Guy is third in line of a family of playwrights and theatre performers. His love for the word makes him a talented storyteller/lyricist. It doesn’t take long before he takes it to the next step and starts writing songs. Next to being a session player (backing vocals/acoustic guitar/harmonica) for many Belgian performers he works on his own solo album. Signed by EMI and with a hit pop album produced by Kevin Armstrong under his belt he ends up touring in several countries with his band READ. It becomes apparent that songwriting is where his heart lies and he has been doing this for years now on an international level with multiple charting songs. Not a slave to one style he can immerse himself in every vibe and does so without fear. ‘If it feels right, it is right’ is his guideline.
