Jonathan Vandenbroek is the 27 year-old Belgian singer-songwriter, otherwise known as Milow. Milow’s career began in 2004 when he was a finalist in the biggest rock contest in Belgium ‘Humo’s Rock Rally’, a contest which has spawned the career of notable Belgian acts such as dEUS, Das Pop and Arid.

In 2008 it was time for Milow’s career to truly skyrocket. It began with a Belgian radio station who asked Milow to play a cover song as part of a live session. Milow opted for ‘Ayo Technology’, an acoustic guitar cover version of 50 Cent’s original 2007 hit which featured Justin Timberlake. The sexually charged, tongue-in-cheek video for ‘Ayo Technology’ has proved a huge sensation online where it has received over 20 million plays on Youtube and has been blogged about extensively, including by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
