Bram Vanparys, known by his stage name Bony King or The Bony King of Nowhere, is a Belgian singer-songwriter.
Vanparys made his debut under the nickname The Bony King of Nowhere, possibly a reference to either the Radiohead song There, There (from their 2003 album Hail to the Thief) or the children's program Bagpuss. He featured twice at Pukkelpop, [1] [2] and once at Folk Dranouter. [3] He wrote the title track for the film 22 mei by Koen Mortier and the film music for The Giants by Bouli Lanners. [4] In 2015 he simplified his nickname to Bony King. That year he also brought out the album Wild Flowers. [5]
