When Tijn first picked up a guitar at the age of fourteen, he fell in love instantly. From that moment on, the guitar was his inseparable friend, and they spent many hours together every day. From the very beginning, Tijn wrote his own music and refused to play songs written by others. No vacation went by without having to find a place in the car for the guitar, otherwise Tijn wouldn’t come along.

At the age of sixteen, Tijn started performing in school bands, and at eighteen he formed his first band that gained some notoriety: The Pilots, one of the first Dutch Mod/Punk bands. Tijn performed with this band in Berlin, among other places. Over time, The Pilots evolved into a traditional soul band with horns and backing singers. One of them was Monique Klemann. Tijn and Monique fell in love and founded Lois Lane. They participated in the Dutch Grand Prix, reached the finals at Paradiso, and were “discovered.” A record deal was signed and many hits followed, including Amsterdamned and My Best Friend. During his years as a yogi, Tijn mainly wrote calming music. In recent years, he has been writing and performing pop songs again. His new album, entitled Tijn Touber, is now available on Spotify.
