Sudanese-Dutch artist Hatoon creates a new sound of jazz, neo-soul, and alternative R&B and is someone to keep an eye on. Her intuitive lyrics are delivered with a warm, layered voice that is as powerful—but also vulnerable—as the lyrics themselves. Having spent her childhood as a refugee in a small Dutch village, the artist took on the position of outsider/observer at a young age.
After singing backup vocals for other Dutch artists such as Joshua-J, BNNYHUNNA, Lèlèman, and T-Shawn, it’s time for the 22-year-old to step forward and share her story.
