About Swanfish Music:

Hi and a warm welcome to Swanfish Music!
My name is Ronald Vissers and I am the person behind Swanfish.
I was born in 1972 and I have been making music since I was a child
I am a self-educated keyboardist with particular interest in electronic “synthwave” music as I grew up with the music from the Pet Shop Boys.
The last 5 years I have been focusing on audio engineering as well.
I have my own music recording studio.
This is not a profession of me, but you’ll see I take my hobby quite seriously.
I am open to collaborations and I am always looking for other artists that are interested in my support.
If you have any questions, just send me a message. Thank you.
