Janneke de Roo

Janneke de Roo is a Dutch singer-songwriter whose heartfelt folk-pop sound and poetic storytelling have carved out a warm space in the Netherlands' contemporary music scene. Hailing from the northern region of Friesland, she crafts lyrics that balance raw emotional honesty with vivid imagery, often weaving themes of love, loss, and social consciousness into tracks like "Zinloos geweld" (Senseless Violence) and the wistful "Vervlogen" (Faded). Her 2023 cover of "Het Dorp" – a timeless Dutch classic originally by Wim Sonneveld – showcases her ability to breathe new life into nostalgic material while honoring its roots. With a voice that feels like a candid conversation with a close friend, Janneke’s music, including recent releases like "Vang Het Licht" (Catch the Light) and the urgent "Morgen is misschien te laat" (Tomorrow Might Be Too Late), resonates deeply in both intimate venues and festival stages across the Netherlands.
