“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between”
Mozart
Bas Dielissen began his musical journey at a young age, studying piano under the guidance of Mark Van Platen, a celebrated winner of the Gouden Kalf. It was during these early years that Bas discovered his gift of absolute pitch—the ability to re-create music simply by listening. This talent set him on a path of self-discovery and musical exploration, but his journey was far from smooth.
​
Despite his early promise, Bas faced significant obstacles. He dreamed of attending the prestigious Conservatorium, but was held back by the limitations of the Dutch education system and struggled through difficult teenage years marked by a challenging family story. These personal struggles were compounded by a series of rejections, yet Bas’s unwavering passion for music kept him moving forward.
​
Throughout his life, Bas has never stopped composing. Music has always been his refuge, and tunes often come to him inspired by moments and experiences. This internal drive to create music is something he’s always followed, and over the last two years, Bas has made the decision to pursue his passion professionally.
​
His music is gaining recognition, with tracks featured in several Spotify playlists and a growing online presence. His Instagram and TikTok accounts are rapidly gaining followers, with his music reaching over 20,000 views & listeners per month and an increasing number of comments praising his unique sound. Bas’s journey is a testament to perseverance, and his music continues to resonate with listeners who connect with the emotion, depth, and authenticity that he pours into every composition.
