Samuel Welten still scores the roof tiles with his hit real love is for sale. Out of fear of being a one -day fly, he is currently taking everything. “Dangerous.”
The performances of only 18-year-old Samuel Welten are on hold set. He is currently saying party tents because his voice is no longer in order. And that is not surprising, according to connoisseurs, because he has currently been booked no less than 400 (!) Times in one year. His gage? 5,995 euros. A simple calculation shows that he is running 2.4 million euros in turnover.
400 performances
Samuel has canceled his performance at the Wouw On Stage festival, but Wolter Kroes is still there. He says in front of the camera of Shownieuws: “Yes, I remember that I was in that age. Then we did a hundred performances a year and I thought that was a lot. I think he does 400 a year. Yes, at one point it stops, isn’t it?”
Singer René Karst in the studio of the show section: “You also have to protect that kind of boys. It is of course a lot of fun to earn a lot of money, but you also want to continue to do it until you are sixty.”
“That’s Crazy!”
Sandra Schuurhof finds it irresponsible. “That’s crazyright? You go from zero to 400. ”
Story-boss Guido den Attrekker: “Those guys all want a house in Vinkeveen, they all want a big car. It’s just like that. They see it together. The real big stars just build it a bit slowly, but you also see how fast it can end with someone, hey? You can all hear new names now.”
BN’er photographer William Rutten: “That is of course true. You have to grab it now that it all goes well.”
Far too much
Sandra believes that Samuel should be protected against himself. “Only: if you hear 400 times for such a young boy, 18 years old, what do you think?”
René Karst concludes: “Yes, way too much. Far too much. You know, of course it all went a bit more gradually. For these kinds of boys like Samuel Welten, it is the very first single who is immediately such an incredibly big hit. You will never get over it again.”
