His extraordinary talent has not gone unnoticed, earning him several prestigious music awards and nominations, including the coveted Elite Music Award – Songwriter Of The Year in 2024 and the distinguished IMN Award – Favorite Impact Artist in 2025.
His music is deeply rooted in the Rock scene of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, drawing powerful inspiration from legendary artists like David Bowie, Lennon & McCartney, Thom Yorke, Jeff Beck, Prince, and so many more. As a devoted musical therapist, he channels his extensive musical knowledge to empower young people, dedicating 20 years to this transformative work.
When Harry voluntarily chose to make the great crossing, he realized what a privilege he had to do so.
“Distant Shore” is Kappen’s outstanding second single from his fantastic new album “After the Crossing,” recorded after his journey from the Netherlands to Mexico. Inspired by the countless stories of refugees traveling over land and seas in inhumane conditions, Kappen developed a deep admiration for those courageous souls who embark on such dangerous journeys, hoping to find a safe place for themselves and their children.
“Distant Shore” has become one of Kappen’s favorite tracks on the album. The song’s enchanting sound, brought to life by the Mellotron, echoes the spirit of Bowie’s iconic “Space Oddity,” serving as a heartfelt tribute to one of Harry’s musical heroes, who sadly passed away a decade ago.
The single stands out with an extraordinary musicality and impeccable production quality, making it a breathtaking expression of Kappen’s creative genius. This might just be his most remarkable showcase of talent to date!
