Brace, born Eddy Brace Rashid MacDonald on August 23, 1986, in Surabaya, Indonesia, is a Dutch singer known for his blend of hip hop and R&B. Raised in Amsterdam by Surinamese parents, Brace was introduced to music early on, with his father being a songwriter and his brother part of R&B groups. He gained fame through his collaboration with Dutch rapper Ali B, notably with the 2004 hit single "Ik ben je zat." Brace started performing at a young age, even playing German stages as a child since his style was considered too mature for the Dutch audience then. Over the years, he has been active since 2004, releasing albums such as "Strijder" in 2005 and collaborating with various artists in the Dutch hip hop scene.
His journey into music was marked by personal challenges, including the loss of his father at 16, which led him to focus intensely on his singing career. Brace's style combines soulful singing with hip hop influences, carving out a distinctive space in the Dutch music landscape. He continues to make music with an authentic, heartfelt approach, supported closely by his family, with his mother managing his career.
