Frans Bauer
| Biography |
As an 8-year-old boy Frans Bauer discovers the phone number of record company Koch on a record by Stella. Again and again he calls for producer Riny Schreijenberg (formerly known as trumpeter Marty) whose name is on the sleeve. Schreijenberg is enthusiastic about the young Bauer but believes he's still too young. In later years Schreijenberg will become one of the main men behind Bauer's successes. Frans, however, decides not to wait that long and releases his first single, only 500 copies, which he sells door to door. He finances this by picking strawberries during the summer. He releases singles this way every year until the age of 15. Later in his career, these singles will sell for between 750 and 1000 at record fairs. |
