STANLEY BRINKS was born in Paris, France, in 1973. He studied a bit of biology, and worked as a nurse for a while. Half Swedish, half Moroccan, strongly inclined to travel the world, he soon started spending most of his life on the road, and developed a strong relationship with the city of New York. He also started playing the soprano sax (among other instruments) in jazz bands.
He finally became a full time singersongwriter – as André Herman Düne – in the late 1990’s. He recorded several albums and Peel sessions with his three piece indierock band, Herman Düne. After a decade of touring Europe, most of the time in thecompany of American songwriters, he finally settled in Berlin, Germany. There he grew a taste for the early carnival music of Trinidad, and in the early 21 unquestioned master of European calypso, and changed his name
to Stanley Brinks.
