D.H. Van Huffel

D.H. Van Huffel is an Austin-based musician. He is currently working with Same Sky Productions and will release his first EP Your First Tattoo this fall of 2022. Van Huffel wrote the songs, sings, and plays guitar on every track.

The album was a means to process and move through a challenging time in Van Huffel’s life. His lyrics incorporate themes of uncertainty, loss, and grief as well as renewal, hope, and resolve. 

The sounds have roots in the music Van Huffel grew up with–and loved. From ‘70s AM radio and early ‘80s MTV to the alternative rock movement of the early ‘90s.

Van Huffel’s influences include the likes of Neil Finn, Elliot Smith, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, and Prince. He worked as a Production Assistant at Paisley Park  in the mid 90’s. This was a dream come true for Van Huffel who grew up in a small Ohio town playing along to Prince records (and associated acts like The Family) with his brother in his mother’s basement.
