Jan’s BIO

Jan Wuytens was born in 1981 in ROESELARE (BELGIUM) into a simple working-class family.
Already at the young age of 9, it became clear that the passion for music had taken hold of him.
Year after year it became clear that music would have a great and lasting impact on his life. Around the age of 12 there was also interest and admiration for the church organ. The spiritual and sacred aspects of the entire church scene also attracted Jan. Jan was often found at the organ in the local village church. In the meantime, Jan took music lessons at the Adriaen Willaert Academy of Music and Lyrics in Roeselare.

From the age of 14, Jan began to be invited to play at various local parties. So slowly but surely, at a young age, he entered the world of show business. Jan is truly a self-made man. From the smallest and dirtiest pubs to the most imaginative venues, he has done them all! At the same time, Jan became the permanent organist for the Sunday service at the local chapel in Roeselare
Going out became a problem because Jan was not interested in the modern sounds of the dance halls. Instead, he could often be found in some jazz cafe. Jan always says about himself that he was born 50 years too late.


In 2012 Jan had the opportunity to offer his first live concert in collaboration with the former Bobby Setter Band. That turned out to be a target because after three weeks this concert was completely sold out. This was also the start of a whole series of concerts. He also became the founder and director of the choir of St. Audomarus in Passchendaele in Flanders Fields.

With an agenda of over 250 performances per year, Jan traveled through the cultural centers of Flanders. He is highly regarded by all Flemish associations and is a welcome guest. Known everywhere and with a huge fan base, Jan continues to work.

Some time ago, Jan participated in the TV show I Can See Your Voice on VTM.
There, mouths dropped open in amazement when Jan sang the beautiful Nessun Dorma.
The jury, the panel of judges and the audience watched and listened with amazement and enthusiasm during his performance. The next day, VTM published a compilation of that performance on social media. In two weeks, the video was viewed more than 500,000 times and shared countless times. This is how people in Flanders and beyond got to know Jan Wuytens.

Jan is also a composer and lyricist himself. His dream is to touch people permanently with his music.
