馃幎 Introducing Yuna Mas (or how Aline Julia became a singer-songwriter...!)
From marketing strategies to music sheets鈥擨'm thrilled to announce a new chapter as I release my debut single! 馃幎
It鈥檚 a pleasure to share the launch of Yuna Mas, my singer-songwriter project. The first release is One Year Before, a song about love and what I believe love is all about: madness and passion and just enough routine to keep things going and interesting at the same time (kind of like my career 馃槈)
After nearly 30 years as a marketing and communication professional, with some detours as an entrepreneur, teacher, and even a brief stint on TV, I decided it was time for something completely different. I became a singer-songwriter鈥攁nd I fully embraced it.
My friend the drummer, Pieter Vereertbrugghen, was the key. He convinced the right musicians to bring the music I envisioned to life, and their good vibes and laughs were, fortunately, a big part of the process. The plan was to rehearse and arrange my songs, record them, and release them. Together with Pieter (drums and percussion), Jan Hautekiet (piano), Dirk De Groef (guitar) and Koen Vanbets (bass) we recorded at Studio Fandango with recording engineer and mixer Dirk Lekenne. Musician and songwriter Daniel Brandt gave me detailed feedback on every song. I also involved my son Milos Willemse Juli谩 (euphonium), his friend Dmitri Dijkstra (trumpets) and Barbara Pieters (sax) and last but not least vocal producer Yannic Fonderie. Thank you, wonderful people!
