Jan Anna August Leyers (born 16 May 1958 in Wilrijk, Belgium) is a Belgian singer, songwriter, and television personality.

10 years later, he started the group Beri-Beri with Hugo Matthysen, Bart Peeters, and Marc Kruithof.

The single "The Way to Your Heart" was a hit in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and even made its way onto the United States charts.

They released three more studio albums: Heat, Simple Rule, and Swinging Like Big Dogs (which Leyers co-produced with Joey Balin, an EMI executive).

Leyers, now on a solo track, teamed up with Filip Cauwelier and Joost Van den Broek to form the group My Velma.

In 2000, Leyers had a big hit in Belgium with the single "Only Your Love Will Do," which was featured on the soundtrack for the Jan Verheyen film Team Spirit.

In 1995, Leyers co-wrote, alongside Sally Dworsky and Paul Jefferson, the song "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You," which is performed by American country singer Aaron Tippin.

In 2007 he made the television series De weg naar Mekka ("The road to Mecca"), in which he travelled across North Africa and the Middle East.

Four years later, in 2011, another television series appeared called "De weg naar het Avondland" ("Road to the Evening Land").

In 2017, ten years after De weg naar Mekka he made the television series "Allah in Europa" where he travels European cities to find out the future of Islam in Europe.
