The singer,
Frank SINATRA

Jean-Pierre VANDEVANDEL, known as VANDEL was born on December 31st, 1958, thus, taking part in his manner to the midnight supper ... being this way a very special present to his parents.

Quickly, he shows special skills for the song and naturally performs in school festivals. After studies of teacher and a reconversion in data processing, music meets him again at the wedding of a friend in 1989. After his performance, the owner of the site invites him to the famous open air concert of August 15th, with an audience of ... 2000 people…

He does not hesitate and jumps on the occasion ! At this time, he has neither musicians nor any songs-book. Looking for musicians, he meets the Epsilon group. Now, he got it and adapts his own catalogue of songs. The concert is a success!

Then, performances will never end ... Official receptions in Sheraton of Zaventem, concerts at the Festival "Fêtes de Wallonie" (Festival of Wallonia) in Namur, New Year's Eve in the Hilton of Brussels, various podiums with, among others, the one organized by Adrien Joveneau "Le Beau Vélo de Ravel" (A belgian radio program on bike tours in the countryside) , with Maurane, Philippe Lafontaine, Philippe Lambillon "Les Carnets du Bourlingueur", the Mancion brothers... (Léopold Nord et Vous).

In 1999, he leaves the band, after 10 beautiful years ! He works individually with Roger Jouret better known under the name of Plastic Bertrand. It is also devoted to the composition of songs.

In 2000, he will join the group MEZZO-MEZZO as chorus-singer for the Belgian selection of Eurovision Song contest with the Belgian TV RTBF. An unforgetable evening with Johnny Logan, Sandra Kim and Melanie Cohl. His victory at the TV contest “Pour la Gloire” organized by the RTBf in 2002 leads him to begin a solo musical career and the audience is immediately fascinated by his warm voice of crooner. Again he enjoys new scenes with Marka, Jean-Louis Daulne, Curt Close, Perry Rose... Fan of jazz and particularly fan of Frank Sinatra and Al Jarreau, he works with the Victory Jazz Band of Fleurus from 2003 to 2006 and many concerts will be organized. For this particular show SINATRA and the COUNT, he signs with Giovanni VERO and NEW BEAT' S BAND a professional performance of quality.
