Biography

Hermannus Jantinus van Veen (born 14 March 1945) is a Dutch stage performer, actor, author, singer-songwriter, musician and painter. He worked with accompanists Laurens van Rooyen and Erik van der Wurff, both of whom were pianists and composers. In addition to performing internationally, Van Veen is famous as the creator of Alfred J. Kwak (1976). The original one-man theatre show was adapted as a Dutch-German-Japanese cartoon (1989), which was broadcast internationally. In addition to creating the show's story, Van Veen also wrote, composed and performed most of the show's music. He also performed the voice-overs for the characters Johan Sebastian Kwak, Krabnagel de Kater and Professor Paljas (Professor Buffon) in the Dutch and German versions of Alfred J. Kwak.

Herman van Veen: Was ich dir singen wollte Herman van Veen: Was ich dir singen wollte (2002) Character: himself
Herman van Veen ist der absolute Inbegriff des Liedermachers. Bezaubernde, nachdenkliche, traurige, wahre und fantasievolle Geschichten erzählt der 56-jährige Musiker, Sänger, Songschreiber und Schauspieler aus Utrecht. Herman van Veen ist aber auch Poet und Clown -- und das macht aus jedem seiner Konzerte etwas Besonderes und ebenso aus jedem seiner Alben. Denn Herman van Veen singt nicht nur seine Lieder, er lebt und atmet sie. Was ich dir singen wollte handelt in erster Linie von der Liebe. Fazit: Ein Herman van Veen wie immer -- ein sensibler Poet, voller Menschlichkeit und Mitgefühl, eingebettet in ebenso einfühlsame, zarte aber durchaus auch lebensprühende Musik.
