Netherlands (2001 – present)

Spinvis is Erik de Jong, a Dutchman living in the suburban jungle of Nieuwegein, Netherlands. In 2001, he produced his first album, Spinvis, in his attic with computers, samplers, musical instruments and other objects lying around. Most remarkable are his poetic lyrics, that are at times nonsensical and non-consecutive.

His third album, Dagen van gras, dagen van stro (Days of Grass, Days of Straw) was released in 2005. August 2007 saw Goochelaars en Geesten (Conjurers and Ghosts), a collection of earlier work including b-sides, unpublished tracks and songs produced under assignment.



In 2006 Spinvis teamed up with Simon Vinkenoog. Together they released a new album, titled Spinvis Combo / Ja! (Yes!). In 2007 they joined their performances in a festival act called Noga.

The Popprijs 2006 was awarded to Spinvis at the Noorderslag Festival in Groningen for his contribution to Dutch pop music.
