Waylon wins 3FM Best Singer Award!

13 April 2012

‘I really hadn’t expected this, I swear’, a flabbergasted Waylon uttered, right after winning the most prestigious 3FM Best Male Vocalist Award. He was completely overwhelmed, not in the least because he was up against very stiff competition: Waylon edged out superstars Guus Meeuwis, Tim Knol, Marco Borsato and Alain Clark. No wonder he was bowled over completely when the crowd in the Gashouder in Amsterdam erupted in cheers and applause when Waylon’s victory was announced.

After he regained his composure, Waylon thanked his vocal coaches. A very sympathetic gesture, as these unsung heroes who keep de star’s vocal chords in tip top shape seldom get their moment in the spotlights. And of course Waylon expressed his gratitude to his fans and all the listeners to 3FM who voted for him. The 3FM Awards are truly the people’s choice and thus the best measure of appreciation an artist can wish for. One thing for sure: at this very moment Waylon is the happiest man in the world!

Waylon donates Harley-Davidson to Serious Request!

23 December 2011

It was an impressive sight when Waylon roared into the Glazen Huis on his shiny new Harley-Davidson ‘Fourty-Eight’ motor cycle for his little sleep-over. On www.harley-davidson.com you can read that this city bike with its fat front tire and peanut shaped steel gas tank is made to drive through every kind of terrain, and the audience on the Beestenmarkt in Leiden know all about that now: motorcycle man Waylon came to visit and nearly blew the windows out of the Glazen Huis! On Saturday December 24th Waylon will also perform on the big stage outside the Glazen Huis. Don’t be surprised if he motors straight onto the stage on his gleaming machine. And the most beautiful thing about it is the fact that Waylon is going to auction off his bike for Serious Request! Yep,  in corporation with Harley Davidson he’s going to give away the 12.195,00 euro superbike in order to raise as much money as possible for the charity. So tune into 3FM or hurry on down to Leiden and place your bid on Waylon’s very own Harley-Davidson!!!

Het was een indrukwekkend gezicht zoals Waylon daar kwam aangescheurd op een splinternieuwe Harley-Davidson ‘Fourty-Eight’ motor, regelrecht bij het Glazen Huis naar binnen. Op www.harley-davidson.com staat dat deze vette stadsbike met zijn dikke voorband en stalen peannuttank geschikt is om door elke omgeving te scheuren en dat hebben ze geweten daar op de Beestenmarkt in Leiden: Waylon kwam een nachtje logeren en de Glazen rinkelden bijna uit de sponningen van het Huis! Zaterdag 24 december gaat Waylon er ook optreden, en je moet niet gek opkijken als hij met zijn vette Harley het podium op komt scheuren. En het mooiste is nog, dat Waylon de motor in samenwerking met Harley Davidson doneert aan Serious Request. Jawel, hij gaat deze superbike van 12.195,00 euro veilen voor het goede doel. Stem dus af op 3FM of haast je naar het Glazen Huis in Leiden, tast zo diep mogelijk in de buidel en biedt mee op Waylons eigen Harley-Davidson!!!

Waylon has an unbelievable auction item for Serious Request!

21 December 2011

When sleeping over at 3FM’s Glazen Huis, the guest is supposed to bring an item that’ll be up for auction for the Serious Request charity. Two years ago Waylon raised a lot of money by shaving his head while staying at the Glazen Huis. That was spectacular, but this year Waylon has something on offer that surpasses that – by far. He’ll auction off an item that is so shiny and beautiful, that it will simply blow your mind.. Wanna know what it is? Check this website 3FM and be amazed, no, perplexed!!!

Als je een nachtje blijft slapen in 3FM’s Glazen Huis, hoor je een veiling item mee te nemen. Twee jaar geleden haalde Waylon een bak geld op voor Serious Request door tijdens zijn logeerpartijtje zijn haar af te scheren. Dat was al opzienbarend, maar dit jaar heeft Waylon een nog veel spectaculairder item dat hij ter veiling aan gaat bieden. Een glimmend,  supergaaf item, dat hij aanstaande vrijdag 23 december mee zal nemen naar het Glazen Huis. Wat het is? Hou deze website en 3FM in de gaten en laat je verrassen, nee, verbijsteren!!!

Waylon staying at the Glass House!

16 December 2011

This year radio station 3FM’s ‘Glazen Huis’ (Glass House) will again be a highly exciting media happening. And rightfully so, because this is the only way to get the maximum amount of donations possible for the Red Cross – the beneficiary of this yearly event. ‘Het Glazen Huis’ will be situated at De Beestenmarkt, a square in the city of Leiden.

Two years ago Waylon stayed over one night and shocked everybody by shaving his head. This time he’ll stay overnight on the last day of this action-packed week, in support of the three DJ’s who’ve stayed there all that time. The next day it’ll be a short walk to work, because Waylon will perform at the closing concert , together with Racoon, Armin van Buuren, Di-Rect and Guus Meeuwis! So please support 3FM’s Serious Request by requesting a song, and come to Leiden on December 24th to close the ‘Glazen Huis’ week with a hard rocking show by Waylon and his colleagues!

This Saturday you too can star in Waylon’s new video!

23 November 2011

Wanna star in Waylon’s new video? That’s certainly possible! Why and how? Well, music is all about emotion. That’s certainly true for Waylon’s soulful music. That’s why the new promo video for his new hit Lucky Night will show the emotional expressions on the faces of the fans listening to that song. Last Saturday some lucky fans were filmed already in P3 in Purmerend, and the results were fascinating: It’s fantastic to see how people react to Lucky Night! 
But there will be more filming this coming Saturday November 26th, and you too can play a starring role! So come to Waylon’s show at 20:30 pm in Podium Duycker, Raadhuisplein 5 in Hoofddorp. Right before the concert, filming will commence in a special booth in the Duycker. With very few tickets still available for that show, be sure to order them asap. So become an international video star and be there early, so you’ll have a chance to do your thing before the concert starts! See you Saturday!!

Album Release Party

3 November 2011

Thursday, November 3d was a very special day for Waylon, because that’s when he launched his new album “After All”. This happy occasion took place in the Amsterdam Arena Hotel, where at 8 pm the doors opened for the assembled press, radio and television people. Plus the real VIP’s: the fans that had been able to secure a ticket any which way they could. Like by pre-ordering the album, which gave them the opportunity to win tickets. No wonder pre-sales were overwhelming!
At 9 pm Waylon took the stage for a rocking showcase. The show was interrupted by Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, the host of the popular daily TV-talk show De Wereld Draait Door, who took to the stage to present Waylon with the first copy of “After All” and, big surprise, a platinum award for the sales of Waylon’s first album “Wicked Ways”. Waylon was so touched that he called his girlfriend Annemijn on stage, to thank her and give her a huge bouquet of flowers. After which he and the band continued to blow the roof off the place. A big bang of a start for  the new CD and the Lucky Night Tour!
