3JS is a Dutch band hailing from Volendam, originally formed in 2002. The band consists of Jan Dulles (lead vocals), Jaap Kwakman (guitar and vocals), and Jan de Witte, who replaced founding member Jaap de Witte, Jaap Kwakman's father, when he retired in 2013. Known for their poetic lyrics and melodic pop-rock sound, 3JS has carved out a niche in the Nederpop scene. Their name references the three members' shared first initial "J" and underscores the collaborative spirit that defines their music.

Over the years, 3JS has consistently released albums and singles that resonate deeply with their fanbase. Their recent work, including singles like "Mooie Tijden" and "De Trein," showcases their evolution as artists while staying true to their roots. The band's ability to reflect on life's journey—from the nostalgic "Foto Van Vroeger" to the contemplative "Als Je Haar Ziet"—demonstrates their skill in crafting songs that speak to the human experience. Their ambition and dedication to their art were further evident in the release of "De Aard Van Het Beest," with the deluxe edition adding richness to an already acclaimed album. Despite the ups and downs of life, as their song "Vallen en Weer Opstaan" suggests, 3JS continues to be a steadfast presence in the landscape of Dutch music.
