Wouter Hamel是少数能让人觉得他的歌能遍布全球的的艺人。但其实他只不过是从2007年起才以音乐人的身份在荷兰出道。
朗朗上口的原创歌曲将流行音乐与爵士音乐模糊的界线冲破 。Wouter Hamel迅速地俘虏了大众的心。Hamel在2007年推出了他的首张专辑，包含了他的单曲‘Breezy’ 和 ‘Don’t Ask’,并成为了白金唱片。Wouter和他的乐队不仅在荷兰的知名酒吧进行巡演，还参加了许多重要的流行与爵士音乐节。专辑Nobody’s Tune进一步加深了Wouter Hamel的声音，并在他2009年第一次国家剧院巡演时发行，这次巡演也使他登上了荷兰50多个知名舞台。
作为荷兰的新生之星，这位年轻歌手的影响力迅速地蔓延到世界各地，包括韩国和日本等亚洲地区。
最近Wouter Hame正在筹备他的第四张专辑，并预计于2013年秋正式发行。第四张专辑会以第五张EP ‘G.I.R.L.S.I.N.T.H.E.C.I.T.Y.!’ 为先，配合与Lucky Fonz III.二重奏的主打歌。‘G.I.R.L.S.I.N.T.H.E.C.I.T.Y.!’的发布标着他们2013年荷兰巡演的开始，也意味着这会让他和他的乐队一直忙到四月底。随后，世界各地的夏天音乐节舞台也欢迎他们带着新歌登台演出。
Wouter Hamel is one of those rare artists that make people think that he and his songs have been around forever. But he’s only been an established musical figure since 2007 – in his native Netherlands and far beyond.
With catchy, selfwritten songs that surf blurs the line between pop and jazz, Wouter Hamel was quick in winning the hearts and minds of a large public. His debut album Hamel from 2007, with its hit singles ‘Breezy’ and ‘Don’t Ask’, achieved platinum status, as Wouter and his band played not only the main stages of the Dutch club circuit but also every major pop and jazz festival. His success was welcomed but it also proved somewhat overwhelming for both Hamel and his producer Benny Sings. After getting through the chaos of their 2008 breakthrough, they returned to the studio to work on the followup album Nobody’s Tune. Further deepening Wouter Hamel’s sound, the album came out in 2009 during his first major national theatre tour which brought him to 50 major Dutch stages.
As Wouter Hamel’s star rose in his own country, the ‘buzz’ around the young singer-songwriter also began spreading around the globe. Japanese radio picked up on him in 2008 as tracks from his debut Hamel began appearing on their playlists. Later in the year, his debut was released in the land of the rising sun, followed in 2009 by Nobody’s Tune. His Japanese successes proved to be the catalyst for a pan-Asian career. In 2009 he was invited to the Seoul Jazz Festival and its enthusiastic South Korean public. As Nobody’s Tune went platinum in his own country, Wouter Hamel and his band returned another five times to South Korea, where the album has meanwhile gone gold.
Currently Wouter Hamel is working on his fourth album, set to be released in autumn 2013. This fourth album is preceded by the five- track EP ‘G.I.R.L.S.I.N.T.H.E.C.I.T.Y.!’ with the title track being a duet with Lucky Fonz III. The release of ‘G.I.R.L.S.I.N.T.H.E.C.I.T.Y.!’ also marks the beginning of the 2013 theatre tour of the Netherlands, which will keep Hamel and his band busy until the end of April. Later, summer festivals around the world will be welcoming their new favourite son to their stages.
