The band
Two people,
the sound
of four.
MONOWOLF is my own band: an alt-rock duo in which I sing and play a converted guitar that lets me play bass and guitar at the same time. Rens Bult is behind the drums. You can't hear that anyone is missing — which is exactly the point.
The music sits between catchy pop-rock with singalong choruses and solid nineties rock. Big hooks, guitars with grit, and songs that have to win live as much as on record. The first single CODA came out in September 2022, followed by Zoning Out and STATERA, among others.
We've played stages across the country and during Eurosonic week in Groningen, including shows with befriended bands such as Statera. Moving between stage and control room isn't a side note for me: it keeps my ears sharp and reminds me why bands do what they do.

Music by
MONOWOLF
Every MONOWOLF track is self-produced, recorded and mixed — a good gauge of how I work.
Why this matters
A producer who
plays the stage too.
I know how long a tracking day feels when you're the one at the microphone. I know how it feels when someone starts reworking your song. And I know a record only lands when the band recognises itself in it.
So as a producer I deliberately leave room: I offer ideas, point out pitfalls and take away the brain fog — but the end result has to be something you stand behind, not just me.
