Ten Sharp is a Dutch band best known for their hit single "You," which achieved success in various European countries during the early 1990s. Originally formed in the mid-1980s, the group centers around the duo of vocalist Marcel Kapteijn and keyboardist/songwriter Niels Hermes. Ten Sharp achieved prominence with the release of their debut album "Under the Water-Line" in 1991, thanks to the aforementioned single, which showcased their sophisticated blend of pop and soft rock with distinctive piano work.

Over the years, Ten Sharp has proven their staying power in the European music scene with a series of albums and singles. Despite never quite achieving the same level of international recognition as their early 90s peak, the band has continued to tour and release new music, including "Every Day," "Elke Dag," and special edition versions of their earlier work like "Under The Water-line." Their recent releases also feature live sessions and covers, such as "All Around the World" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," indicating the band's ability to adapt and reinterpret music beyond their own catalog, while also revisiting their roots. Fans appreciate Ten Sharp's consistent quality and dedication to their craft, as they continue to embrace both the new and the nostalgic aspects of their musical journey.
