Paardcafe: BERTAJU + Westheaven
Saturday 23 March 2024
BERTHAJU is an upcoming Indie Pop Rock artist based in Rotterdam, who is mixing her purple nails with vibrant and shaky guitar layers. For three years, BERTHAJU has taken over control by writing, producing, and releasing her own tuneful and energetic songs.
BERTHAJU’s specialty is melodies that will sneak into your brain like a craving for your favourite food. Starting off the year with her new alternative dance music duo “nullzwei”, which had a single be number one on the Global Viral Chart for over 10 days, BERTHAJU moves to the stage with her own band.
The experience of a BERTHAJU live show is like seeing your best friend rocking the stage with edgy choreographies and affectionate energy that make you part of a jumping crowd. Together with her band, she captivates the audience by blending produced soundscapes into the performance.
BERTHAJU is currently working on releasing her debut EP called “BFC@18°”, (which translates to Black Food Color At Eighteen Degrees). A puzzle of her unapologetic and honest lyrics packed with detailed imagery to share a collection of what BERTHAJU’s future path will look like.
Westheaven creates a fresh and moving sound by bringing together the genres Neo-soul, RnB, House and Afrobeats. After meeting each other through their studies at the conservatory of Rotterdam, the band members combined their different backgrounds to make originals. As a result, they create a tasteful and uplifting atmosphere.
While 2023 was a year of creating songs in the studio, 2024 is the year in which their sounds will be heard by the public. With a first single release ahead, the band members are excited to let their music be experienced by the public.
