Kris kicked off his career as a DJ in the early 90's playing a string of gigs and parties throughout Belgium and Holland. Holding his first residency at just 18, Kris gained recognition and was encouraged by industry connections and fans alike to begin producing House music.

After many years of success Kris took a step back from the scene in the early 00's to pursue other projects but is now making a come-back and starting from scratch by producing his own sound, trying to colour between the lines of EDM as much as possible. Kris' producing styles have been described as "Big layered sounds, explosive, fluid, stimulating and cutting edge" which is peaking the interest of many industry professionals. Using his unique talent for translating emotions into music, he is able to tell a story with each instrumental and vocal song he produces, which elevates him to a true artist level.

“The knowledge and experience of old school production and DJ techniques in combination with modern technology, open to be influenced by a broad range of styles and a non-stop creative mind” is what Kris would tell you if you ask him how he became the Producer and DJ he is today. We all get born with a talent, but developing that talent and taking it to the next level can’t be done overnight.

Kris is followed since day one by Wouter Van Belle, a big name in the music industry, who makes sure that the bar is raised with each new production. Working with vocalists like Mr. Shammi (known from Bob Sinclar, Laurent Wery, Luux, Felguk) is a good example of a hurdle which Kris managed to take successfully.

On 4th December 2013 Kris was one of the 247 DJ's who took part of the 'Longest Club Session DJ Relay' in Antwerp, which was organized by Radio FG.

Thanks for dropping by.   Since early Jan 2014, been unable to play due to recurrent injuries to both hands, that initially happened late 2013.  At long last my hands feel pretty much recurperated (October 2014), but I'm rusty on technique front now.  Few weeks playing should get me back in shape.

 If it grooves, I play it (dance, rock, metal, jazz, funk).  Developed a style that blends ideas from Jazz bebop era onwards with hard rock, metal, with modern approaches to the rhythm.  Now several months in, I've made several friends here and worked on several collaborations.  I value everyone's comments.  Big thanks to all of you.  Please suggest any improvements or changes you can hear ... I've worked with enough critical producers ... so no offence will be taken!  Here's some background.

As a kid, swapped a rusty old push bike for a beaten up acoustic guitar, and have had music in the blood ever since.  Been fortunate enough to play and record with some great musicians, who've taught me a lot.  Marc Storace (Krokus) sang with me for some months ... what a voice ... asked me to join Krokus for Euopean tour, but I couldn't.  My dear friend Vic Martin has played on keys with some of the biggest names on the planet, and sprinkled Magic Dust and ear candy on many of their albums.  He first inspired me to even think about learning harmony.  He and I had a two week holiday in Malta to do a 1 hour set on the beach for 14000 people at an Arts festival.  Cisk beers spring to mind.  

So, been a Pro-guitarist for awhile, but family changed that.  Eventually decided to properly study music, met Shaun Baxter (who was Head of Rock and Jazz) at the Guitar Institute in London, and studied, ate, drank and talked music with him for many years.  I (occasionally) teach guitar and music.  Now I mainly compose, record, and music is my enjoyment and relaxation.   Absolutely hate musical score as a way of teaching music concepts ... music should be made easy for everyone!  Busy on a concept to try and fix that! (See bottom of description)

Time allowing, Vic and I will be putting together an album now he's finished working with Gary Moore.  At least I understand what he's talking about now, harmony-wise :-)

Collabs.  Many, many thanks to these fine fellahs for writing the following tunes.  I added a light sprinkling of guitar ( :-)) )

Look forward to many more collaborations.

I also design and create software, including emuso/PracticeSuite PRO which is guitar education software (https://emuso.buzz).  Been a passion of mine, taking a visual concept I had in 2001 through prototyping and started MusicIncite Ltd in 2013 to begin productising it (spare time, part time, and full time since 2018).  After several attempts, it's finally getting great reviews, including from Music Professors!

Pavilion (est. 1983) is a visual arts organisation that produces and presents ambitious new work by contemporary artists and supports the development of practitioners in the region. Our projects engage broadly with culture and society and often lead us to work outside the institutions of art.

International Classical Artists has at its heart Van Walsum Management, a company established by Joeske van Walsum over thirty-five years ago.   With a wealth of existing expertise in the worldwide management of artists, orchestral touring and the development of innovative projects, International Classical Artists is now building on Van Walsum’s illustrious legacy.

Core values include a flexible approach, a boutique nature allowing dedicated personal service and the hand tailoring of work to suit clients' needs.  Our work encompasses every aspect of our artists’ professional lives.  We believe in forging collaborative and creative partnerships and represent some of the most significant and stimulating artists of today.

The discovery of new talent is essential to what we do, and for more than three decades we are proud to have introduced audiences to a number of artists who have gone on to earn international recognition.  Such artists include Yuri Bashmet, Mitsuko Uchida, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Mariss Jansons and many more.

Van Walsum also made its name, and won a number of awards for innovation, through enterprising projects such as the worldwide Ligeti Clocks and Clouds, with Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra, which set new industry standards.  Our appetite for presenting ambitious, cutting edge projects has continued with other such highlights including Magnus Lindberg’s Related Rocks; taking the Mariinsky Theatre’s Ring Cycle under the baton of its Artistic Director, Valery Gergiev, to Teatro Pérez Galdós in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; and the Philharmonia Orchestra’s City of Dreams project – an award winning multi-disciplinary exploration into Viennese cultural life from 1900-1935 featuring Salonen, Uchida and Tetzlaff among others.

Stephen Wright acquired Van Walsum Management in September 2008 and set out to create a twenty-first century management agency that goes beyond the ‘booking agent’ of past decades to encompass total career planning, including the co-ordination of an artist’s audio and audiovisual recordings, broadcasts and the handling of digital rights as an essential part of the management process.   Under new leadership the company has gone from strength to strength, forging new collaborative partnerships with the industry-leading audio visual digital platform medici.tv whilst continuing to focus on excellence in its worldwide management of artists, orchestral touring and the development of innovative projects.

Based in Waterloo, London, International Classical Artists today represents some of the world’s leading artists, ensembles and orchestras and operates around the world.

Andy De Campos is a songlighter! He is an inspired performer that touches people by stimulating their inner sensitivities through the songs he delivers.

There is a personal relationship between Andy and each song in the repertoire. 
The song becomes the focus as the performer and the audience are both expiring the song, fundamentally, in the same way.
This relationship (from audience and songlighter) to the song is deep and there is always an unidentifiable association that lies somewhere between the subconscious past and the unknown dreams ahead.

This transcends the limitations of demographics and music style and the resulting repertoire is not defined to specific genres or eras but by the emotional connection that occurs for him and for the audience.

Andy is not just a jazz singer or big band crooner.  He has developed a personal style through many influences.  He brings a fresh contemporary take to his material.  The art that Andy offers has Jazz, Rock, Latin and Country re-emerging and existing in harmony with a unique and rare synergy.

Musically, Andy has always picked songs because of the song itself and not to conform to an era, composer, arranger or artist. Of course he does stay within the genre or type of music that he excels at bringing to life, but the song is the real article. If there is a lot of Frank Sinatra material in his repertoire for example, it is only because Sinatra did a lot of songs that were great (of course he made them great too).
Nevertheless a strong trend for Andy is, of course, the Great American Songbook, with music generally limited until the 1950s. That being said, a very interesting fact is that a large part of Andy’s repertoire is from the 1960s – with 1963 being of particular emphasis. What does this mean?
It seems that this period that occurred between the demise of the big band era and the invasion of The Beatles created urgency with the traditional composers, arrangers and singers and this became extremely conducive to the creation of beautiful, heartfelt yet somewhat cool and hip music. Indeed, many singers from the time recognized the potential and were quick to embrace new diverse repertoires. Among them were Bobby Darin, Engelbert Humperdinck, Jerry Vale, Vic Damone and others. Even artists that had seemingly made their greatest mark in the 1940s including Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Peggy Lee, Dean Martin and Perry Como were catapulted into new heights by the mid 60s and their immortalization was solidified for the ages. The phenomenon was that the art forged here seemed not only refreshing at the time it occurred but it is perpetually hip today. A period where Jazz, Rock, Latin and Country all lived in harmony and flourished in a unique rare synergy has never quite re-emerged the same way… until now!
