STEVEN DE BRUYN Biography
In a fashion similar to a painter using a brush, jazz musician Steven De bruyn creates fantastic and elaborate images with his harmonica. This Belgian musician follows his musical passion, and he goes far beyond the mainstream. Often stepping into unusual territory, he unleashes a fascinating individual sound as he paints and experiments while enchanting his audiences.
When Steven started playing harmonica, at the end of the eighties, he was dreaming this tiny instrument would become his passport to the world. Since that moment he’s been living his dream with concerts in 4 continents. Beating the borders of the harmonica has always been a natural thing in Steven’s world.
‘Never believe in a standing ovation.’ this inspiring advice by Toots Thielemans has been stuck in Steven’s head for years. The fact that you have to win the crowd over again night after night, even after all previous success. Even if you have played with El Fish, one of Belgiums best rootsbands ever. Or with The Rhythm Junks, one of the most daring roots groups in the lowlands.
