Receiving a piano from his grandfather had a great impact on Jorrit’s life. It was this piano that taught him to express himself through music. Following that passion has led him to pursuing a career as a filmcomposer, capturing emotions on the screen and translating them into filmscores.

Marijn has always been inseparable from his guitar. Even during a long period of sickness which kept him in bed for 3 years there was nothing that could stop him from playing. This period made him discover and appreciate the healing power of music.

It was a kind gesture of the universe that Jorrit was introduced to Marijn, making them discover each other’s passion for music and storytelling. They quickly understood that Marijn’s soothing voice was an unique blend with Jorrit’s instrumental colors. In a short period of time they developed a strong, intuitive ‘common sense’ to create their own musical world called HAEVN. 

In this universe, inspired by artist like Leonard Cohen, Bon Iver, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Ray LaMontagne but also filmcomposers as Thomas Newman and Hans Zimmer, they are constantly in search of melodies, colors and lyrics that comfort them. The duo made it their sole purpose to comfort with their music.

For the production of their debut album they teamed up with the acclaimed producer behind London Grammar, Tim Bran. Their debut album ‘Eyes Closed’ evokes feelings of solitude, seduction, conquer/victory and remorse. It was an evident choice that HAEVN recorded a string orchestra for their debut album to represent the filmscore influences. In 2024 they released their second album 'Wide Awake'. 

With creating the HAEVN universe a whole other world opened up for Jorrit and Marijn. It was the first time people could form their own images and emotions whilst listening to the sounds of Jorrit. And for the first time the songs on the album could have the healing effect for others in a way Marijn experienced it before.

Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.

Lyricist, Composer & Singer I was born in 1993, in El Jadida, coastal town an hour and a half south of Casablanca. I have seven siblings and my parents have always loved arts; and shared this love with us. Harvesting red algae to extract Agar Agar to earn a living, they introduced us to nature; our surroundings. Through my link to them, the earth, the ocean and the arts, I met traditional moroccan music: el Aita with bent el Houssine and Mergoum, Songs of Moroccan Jews with Sami Maghribi, el Hassani with Dimi, Meryem Hassan and, el Malhoun with Houssine Toulaly. I, then, met 60's Reggae with Bob Marley and Jazz with Nina Simone and Melody Gardot. I also met Blues ; Jazz and Rock. I write music; world music if I have to name it.
