Keynotes on topics such as resilience, passion, self-reliance, innovation, high performance and leadership. I bring my story and make it resonate with my trumpet. Authentic tones touch listeners so deeply that they open up and want to share their own stories. A new sound flows.

From a creative mind and a beginner’s mindset, I challenge participants to step beyond the limits of their assumptions. As MC of the day, I look for interaction and authenticity. From a mission to inspire and move, I ask questions that are sometimes so obvious, yet no one asks them anymore. People who are not usually inclined to speak up find themselves invited and willing to do so.
Together, the client and I compose the program, based on a shared confidence to travel with the audience, the speakers and everyone who contributes.
As a musician I have made many unique programs for large audiences; as MC of the day, I stimulate and question deeply. Moreover, together with my trumpet, I take the audience into a world where tone is the master.
Why does this work? The formal, often deterring professionalism between people falls away. This is a must, to make a real difference.
This is what impact sounds like. If you ask me as a musician to perform, you can be confident the audience will be deeply touched. Solo or together with other musicians, music moves. It makes a lasting impression.
‘I really learned something from your keynote for PWC on Vlieland. Namely that you don’t have to fill 100% of the space because there has to be room for the other person as well. I found that beautiful. And very apt. I’m sure we’ll be in touch in the years to come, I liked your performance then.’
‘With great commitment, dedication and creativity André creates beautiful events and performances. André will stay in your head and heart long after the event is over!’
‘I look back at the management summit with a very good feeling and have received many positive reactions to your performance. This has touched people and made them think.’
‘André contributes to an important essence in life. By finding stillness and the balance of being. He inspires, just as in his music, he touches you. An open invitation to look at matters in a different way, with music and reflection. An important essence, in the ever changing world we live in as human beings.’
‘In the silence between the tones, self-awareness, connection and inner strength emerge, creating space for growth. In addition to being a master of tone and language, André is above all a beautiful and creative human being and of inestimable value in the leadership programs that we design and guide together.’
‘André is an inspiring artist. Someone who conveys his passion, heart and soul, with verve to his audience.
We have had André on stage as a guest speaker at various Blauwhoed events. The musical sounds from his trumpet support his (life) story.
André inspires, connects and touches you. He knows how to add a personal touch (literally and figuratively) to your meeting or event.’
‘The enormous impact Andre has with his music is hard to describe. Neither is his boundless energy, humor and creativity: play on my friend!’
‘André is what touching souls in organizations is for. Creating movement. Of the people whose world he temporarily enters. To feel the heart under the ratio that we use so generously. To be allowed to fall silent in it afterwards. And to feel the core of what exactly is needed there. That is why I love working with André, The Soul-toucher.’
