Showbiz self-made millionaire, musically gifted, but also… extremely stubborn. Milow (37) combines them all in one person. He sets his heart rarely open to outsiders, and that could be behind the scenes of ‘Love For Music’ apparently all sometimes experience.
Call him feel free to the topnaam in “Love For Music” this year. Milow, born as Jonathan Vandenbrouck in Borgerhout. Second of four children, grew up in a musical family, with a Belgian father and a Dutch mother. A year in California and studied much on the street occurred, as the direction of Humo’s Rock Rally, where he reached the finals but not won. And then, in 2007, however, the big breakthrough with the hit single ” You Don’t Know’. Later singles like ‘Ayo Technology’, ‘Howling At The Moon’ and ‘You and Me’ made in the meantime for more than two million albums sold, 12 MIA’s on the mantelpiece and innumerable foreign tours.
Hard work
Nevertheless, Milow all during his whole career, the feeling of not being really accepted to be his roemrijkste colleagues. And that has him apparently saddled with a rather gecrispeerde attitude. With his fans is Milow the amiability itself, but put him in a different setting, and the spines go up. Or, as a crewmember of “Love For Music” says: “It is sometimes difficult to collaborate with him. He has a mind of her own and there should be everything for neighbourhoods. That will already be tense pictures. Just to say: if there are photos that need to be made between the busy schedule, as do the other artists that with a smile. Only the Netherlands has z’n notes.”
“I don’t think that with all the other performers warm friendships have been formed,” notes another employee. “With one click clear all that better as the other. Gratitude for some, their dedication is far to seek. Out of sight of the cameras he reacts rather lukewarm on the covers of his songs. Also spontaneously establish conversations with his colleagues about what them interests you, there is not often. There are artists who are very insecure of. Those people we need behind the scenes to reassure: ‘It is not to you, Milow is it just always his own way, without compromise.”
Aloof
That Milow is if sometimes aloof attitude, does not come as a surprise. Many does he not about his private life. On his latest album, he dedicates a song to his girlfriend, all years z ” n discrete mainstay, but that’s it. The fact that he likes to regularly once separates. Not in a armtierig a cabin in the Ardennes, but in a second residence in Los Angeles. And what is it: a luxurious beach house On Venice Beach to the value of three million euros. About four months per year do you Milow under the Californian sun, in search of inspiration and rest.
