![]() With every new single release they send me videos of themselves dancing or singing to my new song. And finally, who is your biggest fan right now?ĭefinitely my friends from high-school. However people often tell me they are surprised when they hear I’m from The Netherlands, so not sure if I have been influenced in sound that much by growing up here. I feel free to be who I want to be here without judgement, so that definitely helped in creating my own sound I think. There are many great musicians in Amsterdam and it’s an exciting place to be.

In my music I try to connect different facets of my personality. After graduating I released a first collection of songs under ‘HEBE’. At the age of 17 I got accepted at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and learned new skills as a musician and songwriter. Never used any of these songs (I did play some of them with my first band), but I can still remember all melodies and lyrics. My first songs were quite dramatic with really simple accompaniment. ![]() As a little girl I would sit behind the piano for hours trying out melodies and lyrics. ![]()
