Op Scholengemeenschap Nijmegen-West begonnen met playback optredens tijdens de sinterklaasviering (Lust for Life – Iggy Pop) en de muzieklessen van Ger Degener (Down Down – Status Quo). Met een aantal mede-leerlingen besloten dat we dat zelf ook wel moesten kunnen; muziek maken dus! Met geleende instrumenten, waaronder mijn vaders gitaar en een tweetal tambourijnen als drumstel, begonnen met liedjes van de Beatles, Golden Earring, Herman Brood, Stones, etc. Hieruit onstaat mijn eerste band, Jump, die later overgaat in Wordt Vervolgd. - Biréli Lagrène

• An acoustic and electric bassist, producer, drummer, composer.
Brian Bromberg is considered to be one of the world's most groundbreaking and diverse bassists of our time, pushing the barriers of the acoustic and electric bass to their limits. Commonly using as many as 10 or more basses on his recordings, using different tunings, string configurations, acoustic basses, electric basses, piccolo basses etc… Brian has taken the bass and truly turned it into a vehicle for him to make music, write melodies, and be the lead melodic voice as well as the rhythmic foundation of the music. The bass has become an extension of the music inside him, and he has used all of these different basses to let that music sing! - Chick Corea

• Nederlandse pianist, schrijver, inspirator, multi talent.
Een cabaretier met een depressie: je zou bijna denken dat het een grap is. Maar de depressie die Mike Boddé begin jaren negentig overviel, was beslist niet om te lachen. In 2010 verscheen Pil, waarin Boddé op zijn volstrekt authentieke manier verslag doet van deze gitzwarte periode in zijn leven. Een boek over een totaal verlies van zelfcontrole, maar uiteindelijk ook over de helende kracht van humor en de farmaceutische industrie. Een verhaal dat Boddé móést vertellen, voor mensen met een depressie en hun omgeving, want hoewel ruim een miljoen Nederlanders last hebben van depressieve klachten, is het onderwerp nauwelijks bespreekbaar. Pil kreeg enorm veel publiciteit en ging maar liefst 40.000 keer over de toonbank. Boddé ontving duizenden lezersreacties. Depressie is nog steeds een groot taboe. Boddé vertelt in een vernieuwde uitgave van Pil hoe het boek zijn eigen leven heeft veranderd, en hoe hij een inkijkje kreeg in de wereld van depressief Nederland en steeds weer schrok van de aangrijpende berichten die lezers hem stuurden. Van Pil tot Podium Witteman. Mike Boddé (1968) is pianist en muzikant, en voormalig cabaretier. Hij studeerde muziek in Amerika, Chinees in Leiden en ging later naar het conservatorium om zich te bekwamen in compositieleer. Hij ontving de 'Tinnen Bunzing' van Appingedam, uit handen van niemand minder dan zijn broer Jim. - New Atlas

Met Alec. J. Weatherwood uit de roman ‘De wereld gaat aan vlijt ten onder’ als alter ego ben ik al driekwart leven lang singer / songwriter. Ik woon in Amsterdam, werk in Arnhem en twijfel er soms aan of Google my best friend is. Ik werk als docent interactieve media bij de media & design opleiding van RijnIJssel KCMD in Arnhem. Sinds mijn 7e woonde ik in Wijchen, zat op school in Wijchen en Nijmegen en studeerde in Nijmegen Biologie. Sinds mijn lief in mijn leven kwam ben ik neo-Amsterdammer en wonen we in de meest vooruitgeschoven post van Oost-Nederland: de Watergraafsmeer. Mijn overgrootvader woonde hier om de hoek aan de Ringvaart, en werkte aan de andere kant van het Amstelstation als cacaobrander.

- Steely Dan
• Donald Fagen and Walter Becker
Once upon a time, there were two boomers, Donald and Walter, who both grew up in slightly different parts of the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. • Steely Dan is an American rock band founded in 1971 in New York by Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals). Initially the band had a stable lineup, but in 1974 Becker and Fagen retired from live performances to become a studio-only band, opting to record with a revolving cast of session musicians. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the seventies". (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steely_Dan) • Haitian Divorce, Aja, Josie, My Rival. Everything Must Go. - Sting

One of the greatest singer-songwriters; need I say more? aka Gordon Sumner Biography: Born 2 October 1951, in Wallsend, north-east England, Gordon Sumner's life started to change the evening a fellow musician in the Phoenix Jazzmen caught sight of his black and yellow striped sweater and decided to re-christen him Sting. Sting paid his early dues playing bass with local outfits The Newcastle Big Band, The Phoenix Jazzmen, Earthrise and Last Exit, the latter of which featured his first efforts at song writing. Last Exit were big in the North East, but their jazz fusion was doomed to fail when punk rock exploded onto the music scene in 1976. Stewart Copeland, drummer with Curved Air, saw Last Exit on a visit to Newcastle and while the music did nothing for him he did recognise the potential and charisma of the bass player. The two hooked up shortly afterwards and within months, Sting had left his teaching job and moved to London. Seeing punk as flag of convenience, Copeland and Sting – together with Corsican guitarist Henri Padovani – started rehearsing and looking for gigs. Ever the businessman, Copeland took the name The Police figuring it would be good publicity, and the three started gigging round landmark punk venues like The Roxy, Marquee, Vortex and Nashville in London. Replacing Padovani with the virtuoso talents of Andy Summers the band also enrolled Stewart's elder brother Miles as manager, wowing him with a Sting song called 'Roxanne'. Within days Copeland Senior had them a record deal. The rest is history. • Synchronicity, Ten Summoner's Tales, The Soul Cages, The Last Ship - The Guardian • Music
