Oliver Smeyers
Oliver Smeyers is 26 years old and has autism (ASD). He has difficulty communicating with others. He lives in a world unknown to us. As a child he was seen by the medical world as a "lost case". No improvement would be possible. His form of autism turned out to be too serious.
At some point it became clear that he had a musical talent. Music turns out to have an inexplicable influence on him. No matter how difficult it was and is for Oliver, he suddenly started to come into contact with people, More ... which was never thought possible: he no longer shies away from any public, small or large! Every day he makes his way within our world through his music.
In the beautiful song "This is my life" Oliver Smeyers tells his story. Never before has someone with their form of autism opened the door to themselves in such a way. History is written in the music world. "It's damn hard to stay unmoved on this song," says Dan Hastrey (see further under "Oliver's team"). Coco Jr. says: 'what Oliver is doing is groundbreaking ...'.
"Oliver needs few guidelines in the studio", confirms Guido Maes (see below), a man who has worked with almost all Flemish artists (still) but also came into contact with international stars such as Whitney Houston.
Oliver Smeyers is surrounded by a team of well-known professionals who, among other things, work behind the scenes on his first album. The release is expected in the spring of 2019.
