JESSEE is a nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter and dancer from Hoogkarspel, North Holland, who has been involved with music from an early age. He started taking singing lessons at fourteen and moved to Groningen at sixteen to study music, which he recently completed. JESSEE is currently writing his debut album, in which he delves deeply into personal experiences with trauma, abuse, PTSD, and complex relationships. In his song lyrics, he also explores love, sexuality, and emotional vulnerability, offering raw, unfiltered reflections. JESSEE's sound is a mix of pop, R&B, folk, and hip hop, combined with a striking stage presence, where his developed dance skills come to the fore with a confident, expressive, and sometimes sensual side. JESSEE captivates audiences with his singing and dancing that exudes power, seduction, and vulnerability, reinforcing his presence as a captivating and dynamic artist.
Bieke demonstrates how processing takes on an activist edge in Dutch pop music. Her experience as a group therapist in mental health care and her own process as a client have given her a unique perspective. What has she discovered? Talking creates space for growth, even if you have to go through some challenging experiences. In 2024, Bieke sprinted out of the starting blocks and released the songs from her debut EP “RUMENS,” which are played on national and local radio and TV. 3voor12 Utrecht nominated “Ik Projecteer” as Utrecht Song of the Year, which ended up at number 5 in the 030 top 30. In the same year, she formed her band, which performed for the Pinguin Radio Showcase and participated in Clash Of The Titans 2025 and the finals of Songs For Freedom for Bevrijdingsfestival Utrecht 2025. Bieke is committed to accessible mental health care and is one of the founders of Stichting Recht op GGZ (Right to Mental Health Care Foundation). Curious about Bieke's music? Then come to Simplon UP!
