2025 was a year of building upon new foundations.

I spent most of the year working with the & tutors & fellow students on refining my artist vision. From changing my artist name and starting everything from 0, to launching my Resonant concept, to releasing new music on my own imprint and making it into the Top100 charts twice & .

I spent two months living (and cat sitting) in Amsterdam (s/o to ) where introduced me to the Amsterdamage crew and helped me connect with incredible people as and the artists.

In the summer I got to hang with the crew and artists. The boys & continuously supported, looking forward to playing B2B2B with these gents during NYE.

In 2025 I also started mentoring other artists, who quickly after our sessions got their music signed!

Lots of good stuff to look back onto.

It was also a financially challenging time however which is incredibly destructive for creative energy. Being surrounded with the big smiles of family & friends and consistently training has kept me sane in this freefall. Also a shout out to my design work clients — couldn’t have done this without y’all 🙏🏼

Onwards to 2026 📡

Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄2025 has been quite the ride with lots of good stuff to look back at. Will share a recap soon....

PS: yes I know the print on my sweater isn’t centered, that’s why it’s an ugly one 😂🤌🏼

November dump. This month was a time of “being locked in and doing the work” 📡

Lots of studio time, gaining solid support on my music, reaching the top100, negotiations & contracts, spring/summer planning for shows… Fortunately also a lot of laughs but most of the time I forgot to make pictures (a good sign!).

Have a great weekend 🙏🏼

Thanks to the legendary for adding “Deviate” to the Official New Music playlist 📡

I’m out of words at this point. Getting this kind of support on music I’m releasing on my own label is surreal and reassuring at the same time. The work is only beginning 💪🏼

OUT NOW | Movement / Deviate EP

Two tracks that I’ve been playing for the greater part of this year are finally available. Where “Movement” is a cinematic journey to places as Burning Man, “Deviate” goes dark, gritty and almost Berlin bunker style. Two different sides of the medallion.

Both tracks received great feedback and support from great artists. Let me know in the comments which track is your favorite!

ADE 2025 🟨

Incredible music and connections, seeing lots of old and new friends, smiles and forgetting to make enough photos. This was my 16th time going to and hands down the best yet. Now it’s time to lock in and crush on music 💪🏼

Felt good to play with vinyl again in like a decade. Shout out to .brian for the wicked t-shirt design.

Last night it was Woods Festival 2025. Here’s a shout out to for being the brain behind this intimate yet rising festival within the Eindhoven area. Proud of what you’re building & grateful to be involved 💪🏼

We’ve been working closely on the full marketing campaign for several years. Yesterday’s edition was one for the books with many happy visitors and lots of achievements in scaling up the event. The season is coming to a close, but I’m already looking forward to the next events of .nl!

What I don’t talk about enough is that I make a lot of social media content for other clients. This sometimes includes material to print, digital marketing campaigns and PR. Behind me you see a massive 12x2.7meter print I designed for Heaven Festival 2026 & Woods Festival 2026 — the largest banner I’ve made so far (Quinten don’t push it, you’ll crash my computer again… 👀)
