Rick de Leeuw

Rick de Leeuw (born 10 November 1960 in Haarlem, The Netherlands) is a Dutch author, artist, songwriter and singer, best known for his years as frontman of Dutch-language, Amsterdam-based rock band, Tröckener Kecks (1980-2001). Following the demise of the 'Kecks', De Leeuw performed in theaters with Flemish pianist, Jan Hautekiet. He became an actor, author, novellist, columnist, radio and TV host and what not. He is perhaps more of a celebrity in the Flemish-speaking parts of Belgium than in his native Netherlands.
