Guus Meeuwis

Guus Meeuwis has been in the music business for well over 18 years and has notched up 32 stadium concerts to his name. This summer he celebrated that in style with a string of sold-out Groots met een zachte G concerts at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven. A crowning achievement in Meeuwis's career was the Edison Award he received in the category Best Male Pop Artist. "Meeuwis does not seek grand drama, but rather everyday beauty and the ordinary. He belongs among the absolute top of Dutch songwriters," according to the jury.

It all began sixteen years ago, in 1994. That year Guus Meeuwis won the Student Song Festival with Vagant for 'Het Is Een Nacht (Levensecht)'. A year later, that same song brought him his very first number 1 hit. It was the first high point in a long series of successes. In his 18-year career, Guus has made three albums with Vagant: Verbazing , Schilderij and Een voor Allen . As a solo artist, he has released eight studio albums, with Het Kan Hier Zo Mooi Zijn being the most recent.

After his years with Vagant came six solo albums:

Guus Meeuwis, Wijzer, Hemel Nr. 7, NW8, Armen Open and Het Kan Hier Zo Mooi Zijn , complemented with 10 jaar Levensecht (a compilation album from 2005), Het Beste van Guus Meeuwis (a compilation album from 2010) and various live albums and DVDs.
