for all we know
As some of you might have heard Ruud has been occupying himself with his acoustic Iron Maiden project “Maiden uniteD”.
His other new soloproject is called “For All We Know”. He has been working on it for quite a while now but the album is being mixed as we speak and the release is scheduled for april 2011.
He got help from great musicians like Léo Margarit (Pain of Salvation) on drums, Kristoffer Gildenlöw (Dial, ex-Pain of Salvation) on bass and one of the best singers you could ask for called Wudstik (Ayreon).
You’ll also find some guests like the guitarists John Wesley (live-guitarist Porcupine Tree) and Richie Faulkner (Lauren Harris) and the singers Damian Wilson (Threshold), Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation) and Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) on the album.
Check out the teaser of “For All We Know”.

First Dutch artist gets Motown contract

Singer Waylon is the first Dutch solo artist who signed a contract with the American record label Motown.
His debut album Wicked Ways was produced by Martin Terefe and Sacha Skarbek, who previously worked with singers James Morrison and Jason Mraz. Waylon wrote many songs with the music producers and session musicians and then worked four months on his debut album in London. Ultimately the CD came via Universal to Motown.
"Waylon has a very exceptional voice and he is an excellent performer. We are very proud to welcome Waylon as the first Dutch solo artist ever with Motown," said Sylvia Rhone, President of Motown Records and Executive Vice President of Universal Records.
The Dutchman is now among other Motown stars, including Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. The Rock & Soul singer will bring out his first single "Wicked Way" on August 7th. Waylon received national fame when he participated in the TV talent show "Holland's Got Talent". Waylon gave a very impressive interpretation of "It's a Mans World 'by James Brown. The jury Henkjan Smits and Patricia Paay were also very impressed with this musical talent.
