Kaya x Maartje in MEZZ

Kaya
The 23-year-old Kaya (Kaya van den Bosch) is a singer-songwriter from Amstelveen, who gained attention on TikTok and YouTube with his Dutch translations of famous hits. Quickly, Kaya found his own sound, in which he effortlessly combines honest, Dutch lyrics with emotive vocal lines and American pop influences. 

His energetic and open personality is reflected in his music. With his debut EP ‘Laat Mij Breekbaar Zijn’, Kaya offers a glimpse into his love life, or rather the lack of one. With a mix of vulnerable and relatable lyrics, Kaya knows exactly how to strike a chord with anyone who sometimes feels like the third wheel, or misses the whole vehicle. His mission is to change the image of male artists in the Netherlands: less bravado, more sensitivity and authenticity. 

Maartje 
Maartje is the disgrace of the village. At least, that’s how it felt growing up in a place where you didn’t dare to be yourself. In her sharp-minded Dutch pop songs, she sings about love, loss, and the desire to be picked up from the ball pit. Recognizable, honest, and sometimes painfully accurate. So that you too can be who you are still becoming.
