Biografie
T-nez started playing the saxophone when he was 10 years old.
At first he wanted to play the electric guitar, but somehow the saxophone found him instead.
For some years he played, with his dad, in a local brassband ('harmonie Ulft').
Not knowing what he wanted to be when he was all grown up, he heard his dad really wanted him to become a musician and study at a conservatorium.
So, T-nez started an education 'classical saxophone' at the conservatorium in Utrecht (teacher: André Hemmers) and graduaded in the year 2000.
But it was no easy road.
Because blood runs where it wants to go, T-nez couldn't deny his first and ever love for rhythm 'n blues and rock 'n roll any longer.
For 2 years Marc Scholten (metropool orkest) taught him the basics of jazz-timing and improvisation (also, playing in 2 hornsections: soul/funk and swing) was very good for learning about timing.
Now T-nez knew what he wanted to be.... a rhythm 'n blues/rock 'n roll tenorsax superhero with a razor sharp but heartwarming sound.
Since 2009 T-nez is bandleader of and composer for Tinez Roots Club.
But he is also known for his work with a.o. 48 Special, Roadpizza, The Backbones, Martin Lewis & his Jivemen, CC Jerome's Jetsetters, Little Steve & the Big Beat..
He also played with (amongst others): Nikki Hill, Nick Curran (with CC Jerome), Jim Jones Revue, JW-Jones (2 European tours), Matt Schofield (with The Backbones).
