Edwin Van Hoof
Staff Writer
Comments: I am Edwin van Hoof, a 34-year-old working journalist and photographer
in rock music.
I have been doing this for 15 years. I have established a wide range of friends and a network from which I can now let newcomer acts and bands profit.
I did get involved with acts while shopping for deals in the beginning and landed several record deals for acts like Elegy, Zaxas, Empyria, Kamelot, etc.
I have been working for acts like Tiles and Vanden-plas as well with their tours and promotion for Dream Circle Records.
I also have been contributing artwork for bands as a photographer. My
main involvements have been mostly live shots of STAR ONE, KAMELOT, and
SAVIOUR MACHINE.
My story started out in the 1979 as a 9-year-old on the back of my uncle at Pinkpop Festival. It was the first time I experienced RUSH. You can imagine that this would set the course for me and music for the next 30 years to follow.
