About me:
Hello,
My name is Coen and I'm a musician from Oss, the Netherlands. I started playing the piano at the age of 8 at the local music school. After highschool I studied classical piano for two years at the "Brabants Conservatorium" in Tilburg (the Netherlands). Then I decided that classical music wasn't my thing and began my studies at the "Rotterdam Pop Academy" of the conservatory of Rotterdam. I graduated in 2007.
My main occupation is Epica, a female-fronted metalband from the Netherlands in which I play the keyboards.
Besides that I'm working on another band called SIC which is more groove-oriented.
Besides playing music I'm also teaching Harmonics/Theory at NPAC (Nederlandse Pop Academy) in Utrecht.

Hi! Thanks for adding me! I was on the Epica gig at Bilbao last October, and I just wanted to thank you guys for being so nice and warm with the fans, we really appreciate it! The show was great, but as the band was so close and nice with us, there was a strong union of the band & the fans even when Simone did not sing, just wanted to say you THANK YOU for being so attentive with us all! :)
I was at the Cafe Iguana last night in Monterrey, I gotta say Simone has a beautiful voice but my main treat was you. Keep up the good work and I hope you come back soon =*
We can watch it as soon as were in the same place at the same time and if we also have a working dvd-player there ;) BTW, it seems that I wont be coming to Holland at the end of this year after all since Sanne most probably has to work then :( And yeah, thanks for those groetjes dude :) Später!
hahaha! Ja die weddenschap hadden we een paar maanden terug gemaakt, maar of t ook gaat lukken weet ik niet:P Ik versta het vrij goed, maar is echt kenkermoeilijk om te spreken hehe... We zullen zien, anders moet ik de hele avond bier voor hem kopen (en dat kost nogal wat hier haha)...
