A couple of years ago, Ed Struijlaart (1979, The Hague) quit his job, burned all his bridges and chased after his big dream: making a living with his music. He surely made the right decision, since he got nominated for a 3FM Award, played at big festivals such as Concert at SEA and Noorderslag and toured with Bløf ever since. His feelgood pop with blue and soul influences, that make comparisons to acts like Gavin DeGraw and John Mayer legitimate, has brought him where he belongs to be: on the stages all around the country.
