Rudolf Stevens was born as Rudolf Van Den Broeck on 18 July 1961 in Heist-op-den-Berg. The blind singer is married and lives in Putte.

My radio adventure began in 1968 with a small illegal transmitter on FM in Amsterdam. It was a way to impress my neighbor by disrupting the signal of the station she was listening to. She lived diagonally below us, and because it was a warm summer evening with open windows, I could hear that it had worked: my music, played from a cassette recorder, resounded through the street. Nothing else came of it then, by the way.

Music has been following me all my life. It started when I was a little boy, when my parents gave me a cassette recorder. I started recording songs on the radio. Later I would do this more and more refined, after all I wanted the records ‘completely’ without presentations in the intro and outro. I discovered the ‘Nationale hitparade’ on Sunday evening on the then Hilversum 3. Here the records were played completely without ‘interference’, my collection had started.
