Jacco Manuel

At some point, I realised that I was covering up my true sound. My true self. I tried so hard to present this premeditated image of myself, that I almost forgot the very reason I had become a musician in the first place. Besides, who was I kidding? What was I afraid of? In the end, I realized that the only way to make music is to stay true to myself. To work with what you and nature give me. To accept me for who I am. Thus I’m presenting you my music without any filter. What you hear is the real me. 

I never felt more vulnerable. But I guess that’s OK, too. A tendency that came to be in my system is to hide away the truth. So my commitment is to keep looking out for what is at the core of my music. And share that version with you.
