Stepherd

**Stepherd** (real name Steph van de Nieuwenhuijzen) is a Dutch rapper and producer known for his witty, self-aware lyricism and laid-back beats that blend hip-hop with pop sensibilities. Hailing from Breda, he broke into the Dutch music scene around 2018 with tracks that balance humor, introspection, and everyday relatability—think friendship drama, fleeting romances, and the ups and downs of young adulthood. His recent releases like *Beste Vriend* and *OMG!* showcase his knack for catchy hooks and conversational flow, while *De STEPHERD SHOW* and *Zen* highlight his playful experimentation with production styles. Stepherd’s music often feels like hanging out with a sarcastic-but-chill friend who’s unafraid to roast life’s absurdities over a laid-back beat.
