Because he felt terrible that some people were confined indoors during the first COVID lockdown in March 2020, he picked up his trumpet and started playing outside nursing homes and retirement homes.
Since then, he has performed at major events (Vier de Lente Festival, King's Day Haarlem), provided entertainment at parties (birthdays, weddings), struck a chord (at funerals, condolence gatherings, and Remembrance Day), and recorded videos with celebrities Bram Krikke, Nicolette van Dam, Bas Smit, Emma Heesters, Orgel Joke, Gerard Joling, Jan Smit, Chantal Janzen, Frans Bauer, Milan Knol, Wolter Kroes, and collaborated with Yes R and Sjaak (Trompetisto).
