Timeline

1957

Marcel Céline Gerard Edgard Vanthilt (born 24 August 1957) is a Belgian singer and television presenter.

Marcel Vanthilt was born on 24 August 1957, in Lommel, Belgium.

After attending high school, Marcel studied at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and attained a bachelor's degree in political sciences.

He came to Brussels because he knew the VRT had offices there.

He didn't know at the time there was something like a drama school, like St.-Lukas in Brussels.

1977

In 1977, during his spell at the university, he discovered Punk.

1980

In the early 1980s Vanthilt worked for VPRO on Dutch television.

1981

Marcel Vanthilt rose to fame with his group 'Arbeid Adelt!' (literally: "Labor ennobles"), formed in 1981.

He provided vocals and played keyboard for the group, singing mainly in Dutch.

They made 2 EPs ('Jonge Helden' and 'Le chagrin en Quatre-vingt') and scored minor hits with 'De Dag dat het zonlicht...' and 'Lekker Westers'.

Despite the initial success, the group decided to split.

One year later, they reformed, only to split again after releasing one single ('Stroom').

The reason behind this was the discontent of the group with their record label, and also differing opinions between the group members about the future of the band.

Vanthilt noted the following comment: "They saw us as a kind of clowns. They refused to bring out the songs that were representative of what we were doing, and released "Stroom" en "Witte kom hie". Those were both good jokes, good for a laugh at the live gigs, but not good as a release two years after your last record."

1986

One of the projects he worked on was the presentation of Big Fun in the Big Town (1986), a documentary about Hip hop music, credited for making the genre very popular in the Netherlands.
