Frank Pels AKA "The Pels Syndicate" started music very early. He started learning to play the flute and piano at 5 and 7 years old respectively, which eventually resulted in conservatory degrees in Schoolmusic, applied music electronics and jazz piano. Frank's interest in electronic music and instruments was born at age 16 when he purchased his first synthesiser, a 1972 model d mini-moog, which he still uses today.
Frank toured and recorded in pop bands like MO, EZ Money and Womack & Womack for several years. He also programmed, played keyboards and carried out production for numerous artists before building his own studio and releasing his first CD "The Pels Syndicate" in 1991. This instrumental music dance orientated CD led to the foundation of The Pels Syndicate Music & Sounddesign. This company has composed music for hundreds of commercials worldwide, tv tunes, tracks for children's CD's, numerous documentaries and films, fashion shows, laser shows and many other events covering all kinds of musical styles.
