Machinefabriek

Born on 28 July 1978 in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands), but now living in Rotterdam, Rutger Zuydervelt started working as Machinefabriek in 2004.
The name (which means ‘machine factory’) was on the façade of a building Rutger passed everytime he went shopping for groceries. Rutger had some piano and guitar lesson in his youth, but never went to study music. Instead he studied graphic design at the art academy in Arhhem and is still working as a (freelance) designer, combining it with his musical career.
