Op Hoes An is out now. This EP is my tribute to the Low Saxon dialect called Twents and to my family. Growing up in Twente, the east of the Netherlands, made me who I am today. And by singing my music in my own dialect, everything falls into place. The journey with my parents to find the correct pronunciation was a joy. And I am delighted to share these songs with you now.  Op Hoes An is available on all streaming platforms.
