Jan Vayne

Jan Vayne (pseudonym of Jan Veenje) (June 9, 1966 in Zuidwolde, Drenthe) is a Dutch pianist.

For his 4th birthday he got his first piano lessons, and he was winning competitions by the age of 10. In 1990 he obtained a soloists diploma from a conservatorium. Vayne has released several CDs, and has performed many concerts. He performed at former President of the United States Bill Clinton's inaugural ball in 1997 at the Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C. for Clinton's second term in office.

Vayne is well known for his co-operation with Armin van Buuren, bringing classical music together with the sounds of trance music, and together they produced the album Classical Trancelations (a mix of Trance and classical music).
