André Hazes Jr.

Born in 1994 in Woerden, the Netherlands, André Hazes Jr. grew up in an environment shaped by Dutch song and was influenced early on by the career of his father, singer André Hazes. Working within Dutch pop and the levenslied tradition, he has developed a Dutch-language repertoire that ranges from sentimental ballads to more uptempo numbers, with arrangements close to schlager and contemporary pop. After media appearances from childhood tied to his family’s legacy, he forged his own path in the mid-2010s, releasing singles, studio albums and several live recordings that established him on stages across the Netherlands and Flanders. André Hazes Jr. performs in concert halls as well as on major television shows, taking part in entertainment programmes and tributes to popular song. Regular collaborations with songwriters and producers from the Dutch pop and volksmuziek scenes have shaped an aesthetic centred on direct melodies, unifying choruses and lyrics focused on everyday life, relationships and personal tensions.
