Biography:
Sunday 04-03-1979
Born in Alicante, Espana. Moved to the Netherlands after one year and lived here until now. The first encounter with a guitar was when somebody gave me an old Spanish guitar when I was about 7. Immediately I felt in love with this instrument. After attending some guitar lessons and getting bored of playing House of the Rising Sun all the time I decided to teach myself. Shortly after this I composed my first song, called "The Spanish Walls" This song existed out of a few notes though I was very proud of it.
When I was a teenager in the early nineties hip-hop music started to take of all over the world and I loved the upcoming 2-pac and Snoop. I was listening to this music too much and also wrote my own lyrics. Around this time I forgot about my guitar until I discovered the Blues.
I grew up with a family that was in to the Blues and world music like African. After my hip-hop rage at the age of 17 I really started to love this music. Especially the Blues. After hearing a lot of different Blues styles and artists I started to pick up my guitar again to imitate the great blues legends. Then I started to compose my own blues songs. I still play the blues with a band called "Out of the Blue" This band consist out of friends with whom I share the same passion for this music (see You Tube-example below).
Around the age of 26 I needed to write more songs of my own in order to fully express my feelings and everything that I wanted to say with my music. If I have to describe my solo-repertoire it would be a combination of pop, blues and sometimes hip-hop. I carefully started to share my songs with rest of the world and since June 2008 I’m regularly performing as a singer/songwriter across the country in theatres, cafes and several festivals.
This year I will hit the studio to record my first EP.

I spent several summers with a relative in Cordoba, Spain...I loved the feel of the small town and the restaurant food was great. Of course, the airplane landed in Madrid's airport, but I also visited Madrid while I was there. Hablo Espanol, un poquito...lol.
Thank you for the request. I enjoyed your video of the live performance. Soon as I figure out how to upgrade my flash player, I'll have a listen to your playlist. So far, I'm impressed. I visited Spain for several years. Loved the place! But you were reared in the Netherlands, eh?
Hallo Fabian, Long time no see/hear. Zo te zien aan je speellijst heb je het behoorlijk druk. Mooi toch?. Met mij gaat het prima. Sinds een tijdje speel ik met twee singer/songwriters samen en treden op onder de naam Sebas, Ron & Mars. Mars (Marcel) staat ook in mijn myspacegroep. Overigens op you tube staan we met twee filmpjes (zoek onder mijn naam), dan heb je een beetje idee. Deze opnames zijn gemaakt in januari 2009. Solo blijf ik er gewoon naast doen. Ik probeer elke maand wel een keer te spelen. En dat lukt aardig. We komen elkaar wel weer een keer tegen. Groet Ronald
