OZARK HENRY is the pseudonym for singer, songwriter, arranger and producer PIET GODDAER. His musical talent got noticed when working for a theatre company. Without having earlier ambitions to make an album, Ozark Henry got signed in 1996 and released his first album the same year:"I'M SEEKING SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY FOUND ME".
OZARK HENRY had his breakthrough in his home territory with his double platinum selling albums "BIRTHMARKS" and "THE SAILOR NOT THE SEA".
This year Piet celebrates a decade Ozark Henry with the release of his fifth album "THE SOFT MACHINE".

Qui chante avec toi sur "we were never alone" ? Personnellement, je préfère quand tu la chantes seul. Ben oui, je l'avoue : j'ai un faible pour ta voix. @+ Valy
Hey Piet, net op de homehenry myspace gezeten, maar kan er geen commentaar geven vermits er geen mogelijkheid is om friend te worden. Klopt dat? Grtz en fijne reis, Beer
Thank you Piet for accepting my modest person, and thanks a lot for the music you make, I simply adore it, "I'm inhaling... I'm inhaling it all" Proficiat voor jouw musiek, kwee nie om dat goed te zeggen in nederlands.
I don't like to be a bootlicker but this time this word has another sense.
Please, still make us dream, help us escape from that weird world.
