Early life


Froukje Veenstra was born into a family of teachers, for whom music always played a central role. She used to play in the band Ginger Squad together with her father and her sister and later in other bands, including Chicks & Wings. In the late 2010s she enrolled at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music. Her studies were disrupted from 2020 onward by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of the pandemic, she was also unable to perform in front of an audience.


Career


Her first song "Groter Dan Ik", a protest song about the climate crisis, was released in early 2020. The song had been streamed 1.7 million times in less than one year.[1] Later that year, her second song "Ik wil dansen" was released. With this single, she entered the Dutch Single Top 100 for the first time.[2] In January 2021, her first EP Licht en donker was released. It reached the second position in the Dutch Album Top 100.[2]

In 2022 her second EP Uitzinnig was released. Later that year she performed at Pinkpop Festival.


Musical style


Veenstra composes her own music with the help of a laptop, a guitar or a keyboard. Lyrically she is influenced by Maarten van Roozendaal and Theo Nijland. She is also inspired by Eefje de Visser, Typhoon and Stromae.[3][4]
