About KH Music
‘When words fail, music speaks”, the words of the famous Danish writer and poet, Hans Christian Andersen. A century and a half later the importance of this message still has the same impact. That is why every new project is also a new challenge for KH Music to create a sound which emphasizes this message. Jeroen Kuitenbrouwer, Ward Henselmans and Daan Jansen are experienced composers / sound designers who have deliberately chosen to work in a compact 3-man formation because they believe personal contact with the people who make the music is essential. A broad network of instrumentalists, high-end studios in Utrecht and the drive to make each project sound special are their ingredients – they let their music speak when words fail.
More with KH Music
From a young age, Daan was obsessed with tv tunes, which he collected in huge quantities and, according to himself, ‘improved’. Years later, still fascinated by the magic of television, Daan’s dream became reality at KH Music.
Ward was glued to the piano from the age of 7, and became fascinated with making music. He studied composition and focused on producing music. Ward and Jeroen started working together in 2002. His strength: creating sounds that are candy to your ears.

Later as a student of Musicology and Ethnic musicology and finally as composer.Robert IJserinkhuijsen is a Dutch composer.
