Driving force behind Double Easthouse Music Productions is songwriter and producer Tjeerd P. Oosterhuis. TjeerdO starts his professional career in 1996 with the official launch of Total Touch, a popgroup featuring his sister Trijntje Oosterhuis as leadsinger. Their first album will grow to be the best-selling debut ever by a Dutch group. It will eventually sell close to half a million copies. After the almost equally succesful follow-up album This Way TjeerdO starts his own music production company that fastly grows into a creative hot-bed. There he works with various (inter)national songwriters, produces many tracks for several famous Dutch artists and creates commercials and jingles for internationally reknowned companies. These days DEMP benefits from two fully equipped studios where music is written (New Amsterdam Music), mixed and mastered (DEMP Mastering) by an excellent crew of talented writers, technicians and arrangers. Biography TJ Oosterhuis TJ Oosterhuis is an all-round songwriter and music producer, based in the Netherlands. As a young kid, he already loved playing the piano. His creative parents - his mother a violinist and his father a well-known Dutch poet - stimulated young TJ to pursue a life in music. He began his professional career in 1996 as producer, songwriter, keyboard player and bandleader in the extremely popular pop-soul band Total Touch, where he shared the spotlights with his now internationally celebrated sister, singer Trijntje Oosterhuis. The first Total Touch album sold over half a million copies and ranks as the best-selling album ever by a pop group in the Netherlands. The band recorded two multi-platinum albums in total, sold over 1 million records worldwide, and went on to receive multiple awards and platinum records. Because of his international-sounding productions for Total Touch, TJ soon became one of the most respected and successful names in the Dutch popular music scene.
