nelleke

hi friends. i'm nelleke, a singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from a small town in the east of the netherlands. i've always had a deep fascination for folk music, drawing inspiration from legendary artists like joni mitchell, sting, bonnie raitt, and later on, bon iver, james blake, and damian rice. their unique sounds lit a fire inside me, urging me to start writing my own material from a young age.

my journey into producership began during a transformative residency at the banff centre for arts and creativity in canada back in early 2020. it was there, amidst breathtaking landscapes and boundless creativity, that i made the bold decision to carve my own path as a singer-songwriter. that decision was a game-changer.

fast forward a bit, and i had the incredible opportunity to be featured exclusively on the tv show "we want more" on sbs6, the dutch national television. it was a thrilling experience that opened doors for me, and soon after, i found myself accepted into berklee college of music. at berklee, i delved deep into my artistry, working tirelessly on my debut ep titled "bird /on concrete," which is set to be released in september 2023. can't wait for you all to hear it!

my music resides at the intersection of alternative pop and indie-folk, always seeking to uncover the in-between worlds of sound. i place great importance on crafting meaningful and introspective lyrics that resonate with listeners. as i embark on this musical journey, i've been fortunate to have the opportunity to share my music on stages across europe and the usa.

thank you for listening and for the love
