At the age of 23 this Dutch ‘folky’ gave up her job as a lawyer to leave to Ireland with nothing but a backpack and a guitar to explore the backgrounds of folk music.
One can now clearly hear back the Irish influences in her music, besides the typical songwriter sound of artists as Jewel, Tori Amos, Katie Melua, Kate Rusby, Joan Baez and many others. In Ireland HannekeLaura played at several editions of SligoLive, oneof the bigger international Irish festivals, staging artists like Josh Ritterand Martha Wainwright. Also in this period HannekeLaura accompanied wellknownIrish artist Perry Blake for a few acoustic shows in Holland and Ireland.

In 2012 she played support for Dutch songwriter Tim Akkerman, after which the two songwriters went back to Ireland for a mini tour together.

Highlight of 2013 was participation in the The Hague International Singer Songwriterfestival which created an amazing network worldwide. The same organization awarded HannekeLaura a THISSAWARD for ‘Best English Lyrics’, for her song ‘Echoes in the night’, which has resulted in a gig at Dutch open air festival Parkpop in 2014! And there is more to come...

Thanks to music loving parents Robert grew up in a very influential environment. He was exposed to a large span of musical genres from an early age which triggered a loving bond with these sounds.

His first endeavors into music began with learning to play the piano at the age of 10. That was quickly followed by learning to dj and mix music on his computer when he was 14 years old.

3 years later he got the opportunity to hold down a residency at club Alcazar, Puttershoek. He worked the tables in Alcazar until he felt it was time to move on 2 years later. He was offered a residency at Hollywood Music Hall in Rotterdam which he accepted. He was the main resident for 10 years! at Hollywood where he gained alot of experience and skills. Apart from his residencies he has also played in various large night clubs in the Netherlands. Right now he plays in various clubs in the Netherlands where he entertains all sorts of crowds with all different styles of music.

Following the natural progression many of music loving Dj’s Robert began to work on his own productions. Out of his Rotterdam based studio he has produced both officially released tracks and a handful of promotional tracks.
