Biography

Hi, my name is Jorg and I'm a guitar player from Belgium.

​

Started at the age of 11, today I am 42. After years of being a wingman on countless international projects, the time has come to tell my own story, ooh I am ready!

I'm afraid WILK won't fit just 1 box. Blues, roots, soul, rock that touches psychedelic boundries, americana and all them sub-genres that interconnect are dealt with, groove-wise. I have the impression that this kind of genres has been fallen a bit in the background in the Belgian music scene. There's plenty going on, but it's inconspicuously, out of the picture, somewhere in the back of a dark pub. WILK steps out of these shades, into the spotlight. 

We wanna show that Ghent, Flanders, Belgium also has roots with groovy cajones in its guts! Raah...

​

Music itself is limitless and free for me.

When I start to play, reality evaporates into some kind of parallel universe. Concepts such as time can lose their boundaries, that's why a Wilk song can take up to 10 minutes.

There is a reason why some music are categorised as "timeless". ;-)

​

Wilk embraces the world in which I live, in a musical way.

The people around me, what I love, the society that frustrates, childhood memories, future prospects, ... I dump it all in songs and hurl them to a willing audience.

The guitar is put central. This instrument allows me to project my own emotion without difficulty. A bright red ES335, Gibson’64. Every musician can relate to the feeling of connecting with an instrument. It is the door to my soul. I immediately knew when I pumped this pearl through a '72 fender twin reverb that I had found my inner color.

All WILK songs start with sound, which is then filled with content. These lyrics come out of a gut feeling and find their way to paper.

​

But WILK isn't just me.

Super thankful is a mega understatement to express my gratitude that I can play with such a classy musicians, that these people support, but above all strengthen me in bringing my story. Thanks!

​

Let's kick it!

Wilk.
