Career

He played the role of 'Kevin' in one of Flanders' famous soaps called Wittekerke. Van Samang appeared in other Flemish Tv-series such as Flikken and Rupel, and in the Belgian movies Windkracht 10: Koksijde Rescue (Hans Herbots, 2007) and Vermist (Jan Verheyen, 2007).

In 2006, he was discovered as a music talent during the national TV shows Steracteur Sterartiest (VRT), a show in which actors sang for good purposes. The winner of the shows earned money for that good purpose.

Stan Van Samang won and got a record deal a few weeks later. On 7 March 2007 he made a record deal with EMI Group. He released his debut album Welcome Home on 23 November 2007. The album is produced by Eric Melaerts (Clouseau, Soulsister). The hit single "Scars" reached #1 for 5 weeks in the national Ultratop 50. The single was awarded a gold record.
