My name is Ralph. I'm proud of my double origin: French thanks to my father and Dutch because of my mother. I was born on May 25th 1978 in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Five months after my birth, I went to France where I was raised. Now I live in Provence. I'm still in touch with my Dutch family and I spend my holidays in North Brabant once a year.

I'm European: born in the Netherlands, raised in France, worked in Germany.....

José Hoebee and I have a friend in common: Miek Van den Hurk who used to work as a secretary in José's father office. José and her family are from Best (a village near Eindhoven) like my relatives.

At the time of my birth, Luv' had already scored its first real hit "U.O.Me" on the Dutch Top 40 and the Flemish BRT Top 30. The Bee Gees, Abba, Boney M. and Donna Summer dominated the charts back then. Disco ruled the world in 1978. The clubs Studio 54 in New York, Le Palace in Paris and "Dorian Gray" in Frankfurt were "the place to be". Disco later changed into House music, Techno, Dance Music and Electronic music.

Luv' is really part of the Nederpop's legacy.
