Sven Figee, born on the 27th of may 1975; musician, producer. Fat Hammond Soul, Jazz and Funk. Studied Jazz Piano @ the Rotterdam Conservatory.
During and after my student days I started touring with Marcel de Groot. After that, I joined dutch rock diva Anouk on her European tour in '98/'99 and clubtours/festivals in 2000.
In 2000 I also teamed up with dutch soul/funk singer Rose Spearman producing and co-writing her debut album 'Trust' in 2002 (Unitedrecordings) and her second album 'Livin It' (released in 2007 with SonyBMG). I did various other productions for and with DJ Roog, DJ Maestro, Splendid, Xander de Buisonje, Rik Mol and many others.
2006 I started my new band, Sven Hammond Soul. We recorded a live CD on the 5th of oktober 2006 @ the Zwarte Ruiter, Den Haag. After that we did many gigs. The Hague Jazz (2007/2008), Ijazz (2008) and the Bel Air Sessions in the Hague, teaming up with many dutch soul and jazz musicians like Boris, Benjamin Herman, Hugh Kanza and many others. Currently we are mixing our new album with great features from Corrina Greyson (UK), Rose Spearman!
