Ils
Ils is a vocalist and artist who creates Dutch-language, jazzy cabaret-pop: quirky, sometimes theatrical stories wrapped in a musical guise. She paints with words: about the little shop where you could buy letters, about loneliness and overthinking, and about her red bicycle as her most cherished possession.

Together with Stijn Winter (guitar), Hugo Kurstjens (bass), and Filippos Samlidis (drums), she brings these little stories to life on stage. For the lost dreamers, lovers, and grown-up children listening to her songs: you don't have to feel alone.

KIIK
KIIK makes honest indie pop that doesn't shy away from the rough edges. With a dreamy, layered sound inspired by Tom Odell, Billie Eilish, and London Grammar, she finds lightness in heavy subjects. Her debut EP Blackberry Bush (November 2025) explores intergenerational dreams, flashbacks, and the prospect of saying goodbye in cinematic stories. She will release new music in the fall of 2026.
