MALVIN MOSKALEZ & STEVEN DE BRUYN, The Leie Sessions

Malvin Moskalez carries a story that is as raw as it is hopeful. Seventeen years ago, one motorcycle ride changed everything. A serious accident cost him a lower leg, but also brought an unexpected rediscovery: music as a lifeline. Guitar, vocals and songwriting became his way to regain a grip on life. With the support of musical friends such as Steven De Bruyn, Tom Goethals and Brussels studio wizard Géraldine Cappaert, he has since released 2 albums: For the Beauty Kept Inside and Not Today. Two pure DIY records full of warm, honest songs - stripped of frills, steeped in emotion, and carried by a no-nonsense approach. At this Leiesessie, he brings harmonica virtuoso Steven De Bruyn along. Together they bring music that is not only heard, but especially felt.
