already, he shows great interest for music.
He’s strongly influenced by the 70ies and 80ies, he listens to « soul » artists as Chic,
Quincy Jones, George Benson, Marvin Gay, The Jacksons, Stevie Wonder, etc. But he also listens to oriental music due to his roots…
At the age of 25, he learns playing piano , while in the meantime, he continued playing guitar with friends. He also follows singing courses at the Music Academy where he lears controlling and managing his voice on the most famous opera arias. His professor discovers then a warm, powerful and extraordinary voice, capable of great extensions.
In 1993, he creates the band “Arias” with pop-world influences. Until the 1995, Arias
is not more than a hobby, but in 1996 ARIAS participates in the national belgian tv
show « Pour la Gloire », one of the biggest music conquests of the Belgian public
channels RTBF. They reach the final among more than 600 candidates. This first victory
changed their destiny. A great wind of confidence and ambition blows then over the
group. At that moment they auto produce their first album "Isla".
Thanks to Arias, .fen discovered his talent for composing and writing, in different
languages such as French, Spanish and Arabic. He even got the opportunity to perform on of the greatest stages in Belgium, the Francofolies Festival in Spa in front of more than 2000 people.

July, 2004, a deep disagreement separates the members of Arias, some people
decide to leave the band and any further collaboration with Universal seems difficult.

January, 2005, .fen decides to compose and to write his solo album. In this album,
fen expresses fully himself, with all his musical influences and matters such important
to him.
« It is my first own album, with its strenght and its weaknesses, but it is me. Through
this album, you’ll discover me, just by listening to it … »
