Ruben Hein

A couple of years ago Ruben Hein emerged on the Dutch pop-meets-jazz scene as a virtuoso piano player, seductive singer and an original, inventive song-writer. During his jazz education at he conservatory he more or less by accident discovered his vocal abilities. On his debut album Loose Fit(2010) he excels in groovy, jazzy soul tunes drenched in the heritage of Bill Withers. On Revisited(2012) he played instrumental, strictly jazz versions of the Loose Fit repertoire, proving he would never forsake his jazz roots. Hein got so enthralled with this project that he composed two arias for Krossover.
