For quite some time, Sir Notch’s identity was something of a mystery. Pictures of a guy with a huge smiley popped over his head left a lot to guess. By now, we know Sir Notch is a project (and an anagram) of Christon. Once the frontman of popular Dutch band Rigby, he became truly successful (and happy) when he stepped out of the spotlight.

In 2021, his main focus is on writing and producing music for other artists or for film and TV. He already wrote over 500 songs for different artists in multiple genres. To mention but a few: Christon worked with Aloe Blacc, Ziggy Marley, Lost Frequencies, Hardwell, Dash Berlin, Sam Feldt and Mathieu Koss.

Besides that, he releases a song as Sir Notch from time to time. And not unsuccessfully. In 2018, he wrote and recorded the track Gimme That Sunshine for the summer campaign of juice brand Appelsientje. A year later, it won him a prestigious Buma Award for the best song in a commercial. My little write-up about the track is one of the all-time best read posts in the 5-year existence of Carte Blanche Music.

Will Christon pull it off again with his new single Summer’s Waiting For You? By the sound of it he just released his next hit. The track, which credits Nashville country singers The Tuten Brothers, is another easy on the ears dance-pop banger. It’s a song of hope as well. ‘We washed our hands and cancelled our plans’, but hey, summer’s waiting for you.
