The Dutch/Surinamese Ro Halfhide is a singer-songwriter from Amsterdam who sings in the tradition of singers like Roy Orbison, Ben Harper and crooners like Gene Kelley. He has in the meantime attracted a small but dedicated following and played in 2008 at the VPRO/3voor12-stage at the Noorderslag Festival, Parade and Popronde. On stage he'll be playing with a band (M-JO, Luke Nyman and Lake Montgomery), or on his own. Halfhide is above all well known as a producer and organisator and co-founder of the Amsterdam Songwriters Guild (ASG). Doing this, he played a huge part in the present success of the singer-songwriter within the Dutch club and festival circuit. Halfhide produced both Lucky Fonz III's debut album as his 'Life Is Short' (2007). At the moment he's working on the forthcoming albums of Jerry Spurlock, Amarins & le Gatte Negre, and the Amsterdam indie band Chinup. He also cooperated on Claw Boys Claw's 'Pajama Day' (2008). Ro Halfhide's debut album will be due in the fall of 2008. This album will - in Halfhide's own words - "contain songs that were dragged out of my soul, and through my dreams hurled outside".
