Vanstiphout was born in Kapellen. He started his musical career with Morbid Elly, a short-lived band with his sister which only produced one six song demo tape. He then became a professional musician as a live band member for a number of Belgian artists like Jan Leyers, Clouseau or Milow. He also regularly played with De Laatste Showband in a daily talkshow on Eén.[1]
In his solowork, he is mainly influenced by James Taylor.[1] He made his first album, Motion, in 2004, which landed him a number of concerts, a.o. on Folk Dranouter.
