Erik de Jong is the mastermind behind Spinvis. Once a student of composition at the conservatory of Amsterdam, De Jong debuted in 2002 with Spinvis, a collection of songs he had composed while behind the computer in his attic. The music could be described as lo-fi singer/songwriter/sample music, or as cut-up film stories disguised as pop songs. De Jong was already in his forties when he debuted as a pop artist. Rumor has it that he had sent out his demo tape to a major label, BMG, and a smaller one, Excelsior, and was originally rejected by both. Excelsior label director Ferry Roseboom became an enthusiast and signed De Jong, whose self-titled debut album released in 2002 became a massive success, surprising critics, music industry people, and De Jong himself. ~ Philip D.
