Comment: In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, I disclose that I have a conflict of interest regarding the subject of this article. Pvanzandwijk (talk) 15:54, 13 May 2025 (UTC)TuskHead is the stage name of Dutch singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Patrick van Zandwijk (born 1995), known for music that blends Americana, folk, and country influences. Active since the early 2020s, he has released multiple independent projects and performed across the Netherlands and internationally.
Early life and education
[edit]Patrick van Zandwijk was born in Gorinchem in 1995 and grew up in Asperen, in the Dutch province of Gelderland.[1] He developed an early interest in country music through the K-Rose radio station featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which played a mix of classic country songs. This influence led him to learn guitar, banjo, and mandolin, and he began composing music at a young age.[2]
Career
[edit]TuskHead began releasing music independently in 2021 with the EP The Rambler, followed by his debut album Change of Shape in 2022.[3][4]
In 2023, he traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to collaborate with American country artist Josh Morningstar. Several songs written during this collaboration were recorded at Modern Electric Sound Recorders in Dallas, Texas, with contributions from members of The Texas Gentlemen. The resulting EP, Modern Electric Sessions, was released in 2024.[5] Two of its tracks, "Maybe" and "Goodbye, Music City", reached number 3 and number 5 respectively in the 2024 Gelderse Top 20.[6]
In February 2025, TuskHead released "One Night Show", the lead single from his album Two Faced, scheduled for release in May 2025. The song features UK-based singer Dave McPherson, known from the band InMe. The collaboration blends Americana and rock influences, with the track receiving attention for its emotional depth and energetic performance. The single was released as a preview of the full album, showcasing a more layered and experimental side of TuskHead's sound.[7]
Media coverage
[edit]TuskHead has been featured in various Dutch publications. In April 2025, Algemeen Dagblad profiled his efforts to bring Americana music to a Dutch audience.[1] A biographical article appeared in Weekblad De Brug.[2] Mooi Schijndel covered his American studio sessions and collaboration with Josh Morningstar.[5]
