Truus De Groot

Truus De Groot is a Dutch-American experimental musician and multimedia artist known for her boundary-pushing work in industrial, electronic, and avant-garde music. Emerging from the Netherlands' underground scene, she gained prominence in the late 1970s as part of the industrial band Nurse With Wound before launching her solo career and collaborative project Tzn Clan. Her sound combines gritty electronic textures, hypnotic rhythms, and spoken-word poetry, often reflecting themes of social commentary and surrealist storytelling.

Based in New York City since the 1980s, De Groot has maintained a fiercely independent streak, self-releasing raw, genre-defying albums like *Dopamine Dreams* and *Music for Dive Bars*. Her recent work, including *Not on the Prairie* and *Bombastic Girl*, continues to blend eerie atmospherics with DIY punk energy, cementing her cult-hero status in experimental circles. Beyond music, she creates visual art and film projects, embracing a multidisciplinary approach to her gritty, unapologetically off-kilter creative vision.
