Henk Damen

Henk Damen (born August 15, 1980 in 's-Hertogenbosch) is a pop singer from the Netherlands. In Germany, fans know him as Henk van Daam. He sings his songs in Dutch and German. He has enjoyed some success in his home country and in German-speaking countries. The singer would also have had the chance to become a professional footballer. At the end of the 1990s, Henk Damen played a few games for the Dutch second division club FC Den Bosch. From the 2000s, however, he devoted himself to his second passion: pop music. In 2002, he released his debut album Zomer liefde. It achieved a chart position in the Netherlands at number 39. Further albums with Dutch pop songs followed over the years. With the albums Vandaag begint m'n leven (2013) and Een moeder hart (2015), he achieved top 10 positions in the Netherlands. Since 2012, he has increasingly recorded songs in German together with pop producer Alfons Weindorf. His first album with German songs, Millionen Küsse, was released in 2014. He released further German albums with Sag einfach ja! (2016) and Wegen ihr (2017). It was not until 2021 that he made a chart entry in Germany under the name Henk van Daam with the best-of album Das Beste, which reached number 5. Just one year later, the singer followed this up with another album, Alle unsere Träume. This landed him at number 11 in the German charts. Another album followed in March 2024 with Du liegst mir im Herzen. The longplayer made it back into the German top 10 at number 6.
