Jannes, whose full name is Jannes Wolters, is a prominent figure in the Dutch levenslied (life song) and volksmuziek (folk music) scene. Born on June 26, 1973, in Emmen, Netherlands, he has become one of the best-selling and most prolific artists in his genre, exuding a warm-hearted and accessible charm that has won over a loyal fan base. His career began in earnest with his 1999 debut, but it wasn't until the release of his album "Bella Bianca" in 2003 that he truly became a household name in the Dutch music scene.

Jannes is known for his distinctive voice and authentic delivery, which gracefully captures the emotive tales within his songs. His music often explores themes of love, life's simple pleasures, and the everyday experiences that resonate deeply with his audience. The string of recent releases, including the playful "Ik zing als de zon schijnt" and the reflective "In Gedachten Fluister Ik Jouw Naam," exemplify his ability to bridge traditional folk sensibilities with contemporary sounds. The remix of "Adio Amore Adio" by Barry Fest & DJ Maurice shows his willingness to experiment and keep his music fresh and appealing. Despite the evolving music industry, Jannes has maintained his popularity through a combination of prolific songwriting, extensive touring, and a down-to-earth image that endears him to a wide range of listeners across the Netherlands and beyond.
