Deze vrijdag is het weer zo ver:
Live @ Dox!
Dit keer met:
@zyhhofficial
Na jarenlang haar adem in te hebben gehouden om in een bepaalde vorm te
passen, ontstond ZYHH. In haar werk versmelten muziek, storytelling, acteren en creatie, zowel live als online. Ze bouwt werelden rondom haar muziek, geïnspireerd door haar jeugd en het nu. ZYHH klinkt als een zucht: het moment van loslaten.

@geeohmm
Geeohmm… the Rotterdam-born singer often referred to as “the soft-toned baritone.”
A name that’s far from new — this crooner has spent years honing his craft, writing and producing for both himself and others. Under the name GUILLAUME., he previously released two singles: Without You (2022), followed by the hypnotic ballad Insomnia. Word has it he’s been working on a new project — one that leans into something more personal, more vulnerable. A first single will be ready for release in Autumn of 2026..
Kom dit checken! 🔥
