Jonna Fraser

On 28 May 2026 Jonna Fraser performs at SPOT/De Oosterpoort in Groningen. The Zaandam-based artist has carved out a steady place in Dutch hip-hop since the mid-2010s, with a mix of melodic rap, R&B and influences from afro and dancehall. He gained visibility with the collective New Wave and has since developed a solo career that relies heavily on singles and guest appearances. On stage he alternates smooth, sung choruses with more direct rap verses. Themes such as relationships, everyday life and ambition run through his tracks, supported by rhythms that lean toward the club.

Following that formula, Jonna Fraser presents a selection from his catalogue in which catchy hooks and tight flows alternate. Expect a set that makes room for hits and collaborations, with a nod to collaborators such as Ronnie Flex, Broederliefde and Sevn Alias. The sound balances between rap and pop, with percussion and synths that bring the afro and dancehall hues to the fore. In short: melody is central, the energy is in the rhythm, and the show revolves around songs that land instantly in a live setting.
