Dirk
Denoyelle
... was born
on October 2nd 1964 in Roeselare, Belgium. Until he graduated
as an Electronics Engineer at the University of Leuven, he lived
in Brussels. He worked for two years in a "real" job
at the world famous Micro-Electronics Research Center IMEC in
Leuven. Then he fulfilled his compulsory military service and
a short period of free lance journalism.
In 1991 he jumped into the artistic dark: he started a career
as a professional comedian. Very soon his incredible voice talents
were discovered by national radio and TV. There are not many
people capable of imitating over 150 voices in Belgium
Dirk made series for about every radio station in the Dutch
speaking half of the country, and was a guest in many TV-programmes.
Six CDs with his work were released.
Since 1999 he also is involved in LEGO building: he is one of
the nine LEGO Certified Professionals in the world (!). And
on the side, he learns foreign languages, just for fun. Correction:
mainly for fun, but also in order to conquer the entire European
market!
If you're looking for someone who knows how to make a living
out of his hobbies: he's your man!

Kris
De Jean
...
was born on the 21st of October 1963 in Antwerp. He also
has a technical background. After graduating as a control engineer,
he spent a few years working for an electronics company. For a
few years. But then, fortunately, he "saw the light",
and fully dedicated himself to music. He got a degree at the Antwerp
Academy of Music in 1988. He is working as a music teacher in
several Academies in and around Antwerp, and since 1993 he is
Dirk Denoyelle's keyboard player. In fact, he's quite more than
that. In some shows he's been even more active beside than after
his keyboards! Not to mention his third profession: Kris is a
great webmaster, and software developer.
