Vic Willems

A world full of grown-ups
Which I apparently am one of
 I only see more and more questions
 To which I know no answers

What do I want? It is the simplest question, and the most difficult answer. Choice stress, doubt and indecisiveness lurk if no conclusion follows. Vic Willems then picks up the pen and guitar. Writing offers him an answer: Doe Wat Je Leuk Vindt . It is the name of the second EP of the Utrechter. Fink, a fellow musician from England, does not understand a word of what Vic sings, but is immediately touched. He signs him on his brand new own label and is involved in the recordings of the EP Doe Wat Je Leuk Vindt . Henny Vrienten, Daniël Lohues and Spinvis are also enthusiastic about the music of this blond boy.

In 2016 Vic Willems wins the Grand Prix of the Netherlands. Keywords in the jury report: 'recognizable', 'poetic' and 'direct'. Right descriptions, although Vic himself will not say that quickly. There are few artists who can write so effectively, directly and sincerely without becoming pathetic. Small songs, big questions, with a wide arc around excess, sensationalism and empty emotions.
