Born in the Republic of Suriname, South America, during the Dutch colonial era, he won a song festival in '75, which led him to move to the Netherlands, dive into the music world, and rack up a number of releases. His ultra-rare 7-inch single "Born To Boogie," issued in '81 on KILLROY, a subsidiary of the celebrated Dutch label TELSTER, now gets its first-ever 12-inch pressing, officially remastered, via S.P.Q.R. — one of the labels in the BEST ITALY group, home to Italo hits by CELLEPHANE, SUSAN MORGAN, TOUCHÉ and more.
