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.

Afrolicious Bio -

Afrolicious, the live/electronic collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area started out not as a band but as a club night at the famed Elbo Room in The Mission District in 2007.  The format of Afrolicious party was very open and included the DJs spinning the latest soulful dance music including Afro-House, broken beat, modern funk and disco alongside classics and re-edits and remixes of their favorite Afrobeat, Salsa, and Brazilian funk alongside live percussionists and guest MCs and musicians. Eventually morphing into a live band led by the production and arrangement skills of Pleasuremaker, many dancers, DJs and producers began to take notice of their unique sound.  

Since the release of their first two EPs which were produced by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, the reputation of the band and founding DJs Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz have grown and they have performed everywhere from Red Rocks, Burning Man, Cielo and the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. "We never planned on becoming a live band, but like everything else about Afrolicious it happened organically," says Oz. "When we started the party, it was truly what we thought the Mission was about. It wasn't exclusive and it wasn't exclusionary, it was open to everyone. The youngest person in our collective is the rising soul singer Ziek McCarter who started with us at 19. Our oldest member is Baba Duru, who moved to SF in 1970 and toured with Stevie Wonder. Our vocalist is from Trinidad and our drummer is from Brazil. We all congregated in SF over our love of the universal groove. There are rhythms that connect all dance music from the beginning of time to the present day and we believed we could transmit them."  

In 2013 they released their debut full-length album, California Dreaming on their own label, Afrolicious Music. IN 2014 they assembled some of the finest DJs and producers from around the world to remix their debut album. California Dreaming Remixed features remixes from Jamaican dub legend Scientist, Rob Garza from Thievery Corporation, Peruvian electronic live hybrid Novalima, Brazilian nu-disco producer Trotter, Australia’s Omegaman, Miami’s Stereo 77 and the Bay Area’s DJ Smash, J Boogie, Izzy Wise and Antonio Guedes.



  Afrolicious is also loosely affiliated with a worldwide group of DJs, producers, bands, and labels who produce contemporary soulful dance music inspired by sounds of the African diaspora, including Antibalas, Chico Mann, Nickodemus, DJ Smash, Wonderwheel Recordings, Subsuelo, and Cumba Mela.
