Boudewijn de Groot is an iconic Dutch singer-songwriter who has been a defining figure in the Netherlands' music scene since the 1960s. Born on May 20, 1944, in Indonesia, De Groot moved to the Netherlands where he began his musical career. Known for his thoughtful lyrics and mellifluous melodies, his music often reflects on personal and social themes, painting powerful narratives against the backdrop of Dutch culture.

De Groot's career spans several decades, during which he has released numerous albums that showcase his evolution as an artist. His 1973 album, "Hoe Sterk Is De Eenzame Fietser," remains a classic, resonating with themes of loneliness and introspection. Throughout the years, De Groot has continued to enchant audiences, releasing acclaimed albums like "Een Nieuwe Herfst" (1996) and "Achter Glas" (2015). Even in his more recent works—such as "Even Weg" (2018)—he maintains his signature poetic style and folksy charm. Live recordings like "Een Avond In Brussel - Live In De AB" and the compilation "Een Hele Tour (Live 1969-1997)" offer a window into his powerful stage presence and his ability to connect with live audiences, further cementing his status as a beloved Dutch troubadour. His contributions to Dutch music have made him a revered figure, and his songs continue to be celebrated for their emotive strength and lyrical depth.
