With his contribution to The Opposites’ hit Dom, Lomp & Famous, Dio broke through in 2007. With his infectious energy and unmistakable skills, he conquered a prominent place in the Dutch hip-hop scene in no time. His debut album Rock & Roll was soon released, featuring hits such as Aye and Tijdmachine. Music awards, sold-out shows, two albums and several EPs followed. Dio distinguishes himself by combining hip-hop with various genres and by his urge to reinvent himself with every project.
Support: Louis Pedro & JAH
Louis Pedro, the promising 23-year-old hip-hop talent from Friesland, started rapping at the age of 16 after ending up in a friend’s home studio and getting hold of the microphone. Inspired by major artists such as Keizer, Bokoesam, Migos, and Will.I.Am, he began his musical journey together with his producer Dimongu. Since then, Louis Pedro has developed his own unique sound and captivates audiences with his energetic personality, rapid-fire rhymes, and subtly socially engaged lyrics, delivering an impressive live performance every time.
JAH is a versatile artist from Almere, an energetic creative who draws inspiration from his predecessors and reinterprets it with playful flows and honest lines. After entering the scene with his debut single Certified Kid, he quickly caught the attention of hip-hop platforms such as FUNX and Complex. Following his second single Good Guy, he even received his first label offers, ultimately choosing to sign with Noah’s Ark. He is now working completely independently.
