About this concert
Iskander Moon is een 23-jarige singer-songwriter uit Zelzate. Je kan hem kennen als voormalig frontman van HYPER! of als bassist van Shikata Ga Nai. Maar hij timmert ook al een hele tijd, in alle stilte, aan de weg als solo-artiest. Daarvoor trok hij de voorbije jaren voor langere periodes naar plekken als New York, Berlijn, Boston en Firenze. Hij dompelde zich helemaal onder in de lokale scene, speelde er tal van intieme concerten en schreef en passant een berg fonkelende folkpop songs. Het resultaat van die omzwervingen hoor je binnenkort op zijn debuut EP, die in maart zal verschijnen. Iskander Moon brengt simpele, integere popsongs met pakkende teksten, gezongen van achter zijn ivoren toetsen. Denk Bon Iver, James Bay en Tom Odell. Eerste single ‘Saturday Silence’ kreeg alvast airplay op onder andere Studio Brussel, MNM en Radio 2 en verzamelde intussen al meer dan 100.000 plays op Spotify. Het net gereleasete ‘Berlin’ belooft ook veel goeds.

Iskander Moon Biography
The 22-year-old Belgian Iskander Moens already has an extensive musical journey despite his young age.
As a young kid, Iskander had the opportunity to tour across Europe with the choral ensemble Collegium Vocale (under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe). He composed polyphonic pieces for the men’s choir Dionysos Now! and was also active in various projects outside the classical world, including the tuxedorock trio HYPER! and the fusion band Shikata Ga Nai.
As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Iskander pursued classical piano training at MUDA and completed his master’s in music production at KASK last summer. Over the past two years, he has been actively involved as a producer, session musician, and songwriter for artists such as Mooneye, The Starlings, Camille, Lea Rue, Ibe and Yves Paquet.
Simultaneously, Iskander has been quietly making strides as a solo artist under his alter- ego “Iskander Moon.” Drawn to the allure of being absorbed by a large anonymous city, he spent extended periods in places like New York, Berlin, Boston, and Florence.
During his time there, Iskander immersed himself fully in the local music scene, performing in numerous singer-songwriter cafes where he impressed the audience with his warm tenor voice. During those stays, he effortlessly composed a collection of sparkling folk-pop songs.
Iskander: “People who have seen me perform here in Belgium probably associate me musically with more complex projects, but I’ve always seen myself primarily as a songwriter and storyteller. I enjoy playing a piece like Prelude in C Minor by Bach, but at the same time, I can wholeheartedly appreciate a good Taylor Swift song.”
As Iskander Moon, he aims to deliver simple, heartfelt pop songs with compelling lyrics, sung from behind his ivory keys. Think Bon Iver, James Bay, and Tom Odell.
On September 6th, Iskander Moon released his debut single “Saturday Silence” via Play It Again Sam.
