In the years that followed he recorded five solo albums as well as a bandproject under the flag of Color Reporters. His 2019 album Big Shadows of Small Things marked his Excelsior Recordings label debut. Having toured as a singer and guitarist with the band Her Majesty for various years, playing Beatles and CSN&Y-material, the album merged pop sensibility with the melancholy of the Americana wastelands. In 2021 his sixth album Happy In Hindsight boasts a return to upbeat pop songs with strong choruses. It was mainly recorded ‘corona-proof’ all by himself at home in his shed in the garden in his hometown Zwolle. It was finished in Amsterdam with the help of his long-time collaborator, producer Frans Hagenaars.
