Stop me if you heard this one before: a group of four friends form a band, create music that initially people don’t understand but ultimately they win the hearts of a nation, inadvertently becoming THE biggest band of their country. And then suddenly the beloved lead singer decides to quit and start life anew. Ok, you’re right, I also haven’t heard of such a story, but that’s the unique story of Dutch musician Eloi Youssef, ex-frontman of the rock band Kensington (or at least the story so far).
It’s mentioned within this episode, but this one came about from a beautiful place of serendipity: me wanting to talk to Eloi about his post-Kensington life and Eloi arriving at a place where he wanted to talk about it. Along with discussing how his life has changed, we also talk in-depth about the tour he embarked on with the orchestral group Kamerata Zuid, a very first for Eloi. If this is your first time listening to the podcast, I’m happy to say that this is a perfect place to start and welcome.
