The Fabulous New Album By WALE
Harry De Waij And Joos Van Leeuwen
We have been writing around 70 songs together over the last
years, and have been working together around 15 years. Tuesday night only when
we had the time....no stress. We make music we like to make without any
restrictions and make it because love music...never for a commercial Joos is
well known and works in 1 of the best studios in Holland while I am just an
amateur but one with many ideas. My music always comes from the heart with
different feelings at different times.
I have always been playing guitar....
