As a songwriter, Danny van der Wielen tells stories like films. Not romantic comedies, but arthouse dramas. And although his debut EP is called Fiction, its themes are deeply personal: confronting yourself and the art of letting go.

His voice moves from near-whispered verses to powerful, soaring notes, while his dynamic guitar playing leaves room for moments of stillness. For his solo debut, Danny collaborated with producer Marien Dorleijn (Moss). The result is Fiction, his debut EP, set for release in February 2027.

Dutch music platform 3voor12 Leiden praised Fixes for the sharpness and clarity with which Danny captures its subject matter, calling it a “strong debut single.”
