Dennis van Aarssen was born in The Netherlands. He developed a passion for [[Swing music|swing]] and [[jazz]] and cited Robbie Williams’ album ''Swing When You’re Winning'', which he first heard as a seven-year-old, as his early inspiration. Prior to entering ''The Voice of Holland'', van Aarssen had a YouTube channel where he showcased his renditions of songs by songs by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Michael Bublé, among others.

With a debut album that resulted in a gold record, a theater tour with 31 shows and 20,000 tickets sold and an Edison Award, 'crooner' Dennis van Aarssen had the proverbial wind at his back. The future smiled on Dennis. Until in March 2020, as a result of the Corona pandemic and subsequent measures, the world suddenly looked very different. All plans had to be adjusted or cancelled. The planned trip to New York in early 2020 was cancelled, the release of a deluxe version of the debut album was postponed, performances at festivals were cancelled, the planned autumn tour 'That's Life' as a reprise of the successful first theater tour was always postponed. The momentum seemed gone.

However, sitting still was not an option. So Dennis decided, among other things, to provide streaming performances from the studio. For sixteen weeks, once a week a short show of about 30 minutes. Jazzy swing, always with tracks from his favorite singers like Frank Sinatra. He also gave two shows in a smaller setting in Afas Live.

When it becomes clear that the second theater tour will be postponed again to the fall of 2021 due to the measures, Dennis throws himself into writing new songs. Several writing sessions took place, including with René van Mierlo, guitarist with Diggy Dex and Stef Bos, and producer Marcel Tegelaar, known for his work with Guus Meeuwis and Diggy Dex, among others. “In the summer of 2020 I had already taken a trip with the track ' Meet Me In Miami', produced by Marcel. I immediately clicked with Rene and Marcel and we started working on new material in April of this year. That new work was less suited to the big band genre, but I thought it was great. The final result is a summery EP with five electro swing tracks.”

But the focus soon shifts to the new, second studio album. Dennis worked on new songs in early 2020 with Jeff Franzel, former pianist and songwriter of Frank Sinatra, and Maria Christensen, lyricist who wrote for Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez, among others. Dennis had already worked with this duo for his debut album. Eight new songs emerged from that session, four of which appear on the new album. In addition to two covers (Death of a Bachelor by Panic at the Disco and Lonely Boy by The Black Keys), the album has ten new songs. In collaboration with other writers, digital tools such as Zoom or Teams offered a solution. Dennis: “But it's not easy to work on new songs together via Zoom.

There is also a personal story to it. I already knew I wanted to be an artist. I was always the clown, always wanted attention and to be on stage. My brother saw me following my passion and having a very clear goal and those are two things he was missing. I then fought a tough battle with him. Because I thought he just did some. No direction chose. I thought I would help him by telling him what to do and what not to do. My parents have to show me that it doesn't work that way. You cannot tell other people what and how to organize their lives. And that's what this song is about. My brother and I are now best friends.”

Dennis van Aarssen (born 2 June 1994) is a Dutch singer who won the 9th season of the Voice of Holland.[citation needed]

Life and career

[edit]

Dennis van Aarssen was born in The Netherlands.[citation needed] He developed a passion for swing and jazz and cited Robbie Williams’ album Swing When You’re Winning, which he first heard as a seven-year-old, as his early inspiration.[citation needed] Prior to entering The Voice of Holland, van Aarssen had a YouTube channel where he showcased his renditions of songs by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Michael Bublé, among others.[citation needed]

With a debut album that resulted in a gold record, a theater tour with 31 shows and 20,000 tickets sold, and an Edison Award, 'crooner' Dennis van Aarssen had the proverbial wind at his back.[citation needed] In March 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, his trip to New York, the release of the deluxe version of his debut album was postponed, and performances at festivals were all cancelled. His autumn tour 'That's Life', a reprise of the successful first theater tour, was also postponed.[citation needed]

Van Aarssen began streaming 30-minute performances from the studio once a week for sixteen weeks. Jazzy swing, always with tracks from his favorite singers like Frank Sinatra.[citation needed] He also streamed two performances in Afas Live.[citation needed]

Over the pandemic, van Aarssen began writing original songs with René van Mierlo, guitarists Diggy Dex and Stef Bos, and producer Marcel Tegelaar, known for his work with Guus Meeuwis and Diggy Dex, among others.[citation needed] "In the summer of 2020 I had already taken a trip with the track 'Meet Me In Miami', produced by Marcel. I immediately clicked with René and Marcel and we started working on new material in April of this year. That new work was less suited to the big band genre, but I thought it was great. The final result is a summery EP with five electro swing tracks.”[citation needed]

In early 2020, van Aarssen began working on his second studio album How To Live over Zoom with Jeff Franzel, former pianist and songwriter of Frank Sinatra, and Maria Christensen, lyricist who wrote for Céline Dion and Jennifer Lopez.[citation needed] Dennis had already worked with this duo for his debut album.[citation needed] Eight new songs emerged from that session, four of which appear on the new album. In addition to two covers (Death of a Bachelor by Panic! at the Disco and Lonely Boy by The Black Keys), the album also featured originals.

In 2020, van Aarssen would be awarded an Edison Jazzism Audience Award for his album Forever You.[1]

The album How To Live was recorded together with the DVA Bigband in the E-Sounds Studio in Weesp and produced by Paul Willemsen.[citation needed] The album released in November 2021, just after the start of the 'Swinging On A Star' theater tour that started in October.[citation needed]
