Jeroen Hilgers (born February 6th, 1995), better known as Jeron, is a singer/songwriter from The Netherlands. He released his first EP called 'O.U.T.' in February 2013.

Jeron started taking singing and choir lessons when he was only 8 years old. During his final year at primary school, he was introduced to music theatre. This piqued his interest, to the point at which he started actively developing his musical skills. He did this by taking singing, piano and guitar lessons. He also took a part-time job in a music store.

When Jeron went to high school, he also joined a theatre educational program, through which he played in various shows and musicals. He also entered several talent contests and won. Him being the musical busy bee, it didn't take long before he was accepted by Stage Entertainment to be an ensemble member for Joop van den Ende's 'Joseph'. Each day his goal became clearer; he wanted to be the best singer he could be.

Meanwhile Jeron's interest in pop music grew. He became inspired by artists like Adam Lambert, Freddie Mercury and Christina Aguilera. He noticed that pop music could contain theatrical elements. After having been part of 'Joseph' he was contacted by a music producer to record several songs. This lead to Jeron being offered a recording contract. He was 15 years old at the time, which meant his voice started breaking. As a result, he was forced to decline the offer. Jeron was devastated. 

Jeron couldn't use his voice the way he was used to anymore, which caused his motivation to drop dramatically. He couldn't do the one thing he loved the most; sing. Only after several months went by, he slowly began taking singing lessons again. At first Jeron had to get to know his new voice, but the drive to become as good as he once was kept him going. One year later, he auditioned for Albeda's Musician/Producer schooling program and got accepted.

Jeron presents a kind of music that mixes rock, dance, funk, 80's, but most of all electronic pop music. Much like Jeron himself, his music is expressive, exuberant and daring. More music will be released so stay tuned!
