I made instruments from NYC street noise. A melancholic song about how at peace the highly energetic NYC made me feel, paradoxically.

No Rush

In this intimate piano love ballad, I compare my partner to NYC

Favourite Place To Go

A homage to the city of Nijmegen (NIMMAAAA!)
And a specific shoutout to the awesomeness of the Vierdaagse(feesten)

My City, My Home (Nimma)

This is an tropical house inspired track on mindfulness, meditation, and the monkey mind.

Same Road Back

A break up song I wrote after... well... a break up.

Nightmare

A hopeful take on a long distance relationship.

This is an unapologetically happy song about simply being in love, and me struggling with the idea that that is a good enough topic to write a song about.
"Something that simple can't be good, I thought. I'm not that stupid.
But now I don't care what it sounds like. I just want it to get STUCK IN YOUR HEAD."

Simple

The electronic ballad “let me in” explores the variety of emotions one can go through in supporting a loved one who is going through a difficult time. Love, care, compassion, concern, fear, frustration, powerlessness, despair... As much as you would like to fight their demons with your bare hands - you can’t.
And meanwhile, the show must go on.

There is a videoclip for this song on YouTube (with dance)

Let Me In

I wrote the lyrics of this song based on themes I found in my research on empathy and neurodiversity. It's a plea for empathy across neurotypes and embracing diversity.
Production wise I got inspired by Disney music.

Divergent

Here's a song I wrote as a reminder that even when the world seems so dark, you only need a spark, to light a thousand candles, and light up the sky. 

I hope this music may bring some light and hope your way, in case you needed it. And I hope it may spread to the people around you - like fire!

I released it as a Christmas song because I wrote it at Christmas and it fits thematically. Christmas can be a particularly challenging time to some, and in its core it is a holiday about hope. 

A little about me: I am a singer-songwriter and producer, and I make music in my little home studio. Philosopher by day, musician by night. I mainly focus on pop music, with elements of cinematic, synth, and dark pop.

If you like this song and you want to support my work, I highly appreciate a like, follow, comment, share, and/or putting my song in one of your (holiday) playlists :)
