Tourist LeMC (born 1984, in Schoten) is the artist name of the Flemish singer Johannes Faes. He sings in his local Antverpian dialect; his music is mainly influenced by French hiphop, and also by reggae, cabaret and folk.[1]
Biography
In December 2010 his debut album Antwerps Testament appeared, and in 2012 he reached the final of the Flemish music competition Humo's Rock Rally.[2] Three years later a remastered and extended version (with two tracks) of his first album was redistributed under a Dutch hiphop label.
In 2014 he brought out two EPs during the preparation of a new album, En route, which came out in early 2015. Later that year, he earned a gold music certificate for this album.[3] In January 2016, Tourist gained more fame and recognition by being nominated for five Music Industry Awards and winning two, as "best singer in Dutch" and "breakthrough of the year".[4][5]
