Timo de Jong creates country folk and rock 'n roll music inspired by the 1960s, but with a contemporary and refined twist. His deep, warm singing voice is reminiscent of the famous crooners of the early twentieth century.
On June 9, 2023, Timo will release his debut album, 'Heart At Rest,' via Revanche Records. The twelve songs on 'Heart At Rest' form a beautiful mix of modern and vintage vibes. It nods to music from the past, but without nostalgia or attempts to create cutting-edge music, making the music timeless.
Timo draws inspiration from stories within his circle of friends, his own experiences, and from a truly original perspective. Like in the song 'Cordyceps,' a song about a parasitic fungus, listeners may notice that it could also be about themselves.
Timo's musical influences include crooners Marty Robbins, Glen Campbell, and Frank Sinatra, as well as more modern acts that translate sounds from the past into modern music, such as Theo Lawrence, Sam Outlaw, and Marlon Williams.
Timo's singing style is 'crooning.' It revolves around creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, making the listener feel as if they are being serenaded by a good friend or lover. The intimate quality of Timo's style makes it perfect for expressing emotions and conveying lyrics about love, longing, and tenderness.
