As a child in Holland he performed
in Dutch radio shows with great success. Then his father took him
to Australia and left him on his own when he was 15. At the age of
twenty-one he was a TV advertising star well known inAustralia as
"Mister Demo". He performed as an actor and singer too.
In his lonesome nightly hours
he started to write poems and little songs to comfort his soul.
Studied the practical part of
psychotherapy at H.B.O. Academy and worked as a social worker mainly in
the field of comforting.
When he returned to Europe, he
married his second wife and worked for Jan Foudraine,
a famous and controversial
psychiatrist in Holland. After this period of steadiness he roamed
around all Europe as a performing artist, singer-songwriter and
entertainer,
A Raving Spirit
.
Finally he found a place of
silence and growth on the island of santorini and Crete.
Always on the way to find his own
inner being he went deep into Christianity and later into Buddhism. As a
disciple of Osho he found his own way to search for his inner home:
Writing songs and singing of the light.
That's what his
poems, aphorisms
and
songs
are about: finding Yourself,
Your inner being and bringing
it to light, understanding and sympathy for the simple things in life,
flowers, trees, rivers and animals, and of course
humans and humanity.
