Waylon wins 3FM Best Singer Award!

13 April 2012

‘I really hadn’t expected this, I swear’, a flabbergasted Waylon uttered, right after winning the most prestigious 3FM Best Male Vocalist Award. He was completely overwhelmed, not in the least because he was up against very stiff competition: Waylon edged out superstars Guus Meeuwis, Tim Knol, Marco Borsato and Alain Clark. No wonder he was bowled over completely when the crowd in the Gashouder in Amsterdam erupted in cheers and applause when Waylon’s victory was announced.

After he regained his composure, Waylon thanked his vocal coaches. A very sympathetic gesture, as these unsung heroes who keep de star’s vocal chords in tip top shape seldom get their moment in the spotlights. And of course Waylon expressed his gratitude to his fans and all the listeners to 3FM who voted for him. The 3FM Awards are truly the people’s choice and thus the best measure of appreciation an artist can wish for. One thing for sure: at this very moment Waylon is the happiest man in the world!

Witness Waylon’s out-of-body experience!

10 February 2012

On the morning of Friday the 10th of February, Waylon did something nobody’s ever done before: When he visited the ‘Evers Staat Op show at Radio 538, he performed Lose It, playing guitar, keyboards, bass and drums and providing his own two-part back-up vocals all by himself. “I’m exhausted!” Waylon exclaimed after the performance of his new single. “I don’t know what happened, it was some sort of out-of-body experience!” It was a truly something unbelievably incredible as well as incredibly unbelievable. Don’t believe us? Check:

Waylon releases new single!

30 January 2012

Last Friday, January 27th, Waylon released his brand-new single ‘Lose It’. This great track from Waylon’s album ‘After All’ is a soulful song about all those confusing feelings you experience when you fall in love.


“That girl from ‘The Escapist? That turned into love”, explains Waylon. “And when you fall in love, you get the feeling that you can go crazy, that you can ‘lose it’, as well. On the one hand you get that desperation and beating yourself up over everything, on the other hand you get that great feeling that you’re alive, that everything is exciting!”


Those of you who can’t immediately run to the shops to get the physical CD, but simply can’t wait to get the single, can download it via iTunes as well: check out http://itunes.apple.com/nl/album/lose-it-single/id497887209 or stream it on the website http://waylon.nl/music/ .  So fall in love with Waylon’s new single and… Lose It!

Waylon donates Harley-Davidson to Serious Request!

23 December 2011

It was an impressive sight when Waylon roared into the Glazen Huis on his shiny new Harley-Davidson ‘Fourty-Eight’ motor cycle for his little sleep-over. On www.harley-davidson.com you can read that this city bike with its fat front tire and peanut shaped steel gas tank is made to drive through every kind of terrain, and the audience on the Beestenmarkt in Leiden know all about that now: motorcycle man Waylon came to visit and nearly blew the windows out of the Glazen Huis! On Saturday December 24th Waylon will also perform on the big stage outside the Glazen Huis. Don’t be surprised if he motors straight onto the stage on his gleaming machine. And the most beautiful thing about it is the fact that Waylon is going to auction off his bike for Serious Request! Yep,  in corporation with Harley Davidson he’s going to give away the 12.195,00 euro superbike in order to raise as much money as possible for the charity. So tune into 3FM or hurry on down to Leiden and place your bid on Waylon’s very own Harley-Davidson!!!

Het was een indrukwekkend gezicht zoals Waylon daar kwam aangescheurd op een splinternieuwe Harley-Davidson ‘Fourty-Eight’ motor, regelrecht bij het Glazen Huis naar binnen. Op www.harley-davidson.com staat dat deze vette stadsbike met zijn dikke voorband en stalen peannuttank geschikt is om door elke omgeving te scheuren en dat hebben ze geweten daar op de Beestenmarkt in Leiden: Waylon kwam een nachtje logeren en de Glazen rinkelden bijna uit de sponningen van het Huis! Zaterdag 24 december gaat Waylon er ook optreden, en je moet niet gek opkijken als hij met zijn vette Harley het podium op komt scheuren. En het mooiste is nog, dat Waylon de motor in samenwerking met Harley Davidson doneert aan Serious Request. Jawel, hij gaat deze superbike van 12.195,00 euro veilen voor het goede doel. Stem dus af op 3FM of haast je naar het Glazen Huis in Leiden, tast zo diep mogelijk in de buidel en biedt mee op Waylons eigen Harley-Davidson!!!

Waylon staying at the Glass House!

16 December 2011

This year radio station 3FM’s ‘Glazen Huis’ (Glass House) will again be a highly exciting media happening. And rightfully so, because this is the only way to get the maximum amount of donations possible for the Red Cross – the beneficiary of this yearly event. ‘Het Glazen Huis’ will be situated at De Beestenmarkt, a square in the city of Leiden.

Two years ago Waylon stayed over one night and shocked everybody by shaving his head. This time he’ll stay overnight on the last day of this action-packed week, in support of the three DJ’s who’ve stayed there all that time. The next day it’ll be a short walk to work, because Waylon will perform at the closing concert , together with Racoon, Armin van Buuren, Di-Rect and Guus Meeuwis! So please support 3FM’s Serious Request by requesting a song, and come to Leiden on December 24th to close the ‘Glazen Huis’ week with a hard rocking show by Waylon and his colleagues!

Album Release Party

3 November 2011

Thursday, November 3d was a very special day for Waylon, because that’s when he launched his new album “After All”. This happy occasion took place in the Amsterdam Arena Hotel, where at 8 pm the doors opened for the assembled press, radio and television people. Plus the real VIP’s: the fans that had been able to secure a ticket any which way they could. Like by pre-ordering the album, which gave them the opportunity to win tickets. No wonder pre-sales were overwhelming!
At 9 pm Waylon took the stage for a rocking showcase. The show was interrupted by Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, the host of the popular daily TV-talk show De Wereld Draait Door, who took to the stage to present Waylon with the first copy of “After All” and, big surprise, a platinum award for the sales of Waylon’s first album “Wicked Ways”. Waylon was so touched that he called his girlfriend Annemijn on stage, to thank her and give her a huge bouquet of flowers. After which he and the band continued to blow the roof off the place. A big bang of a start for  the new CD and the Lucky Night Tour!
