PANELIST

MUSICAL GUEST

Loren Nine: Inspired by artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Regina Spektor, Kate Bush and Adele has given her own twist to the pop-music of today. With timeless vocal-lines and arrangements she makes sure her music has an authentic feel to it titled as: “gramophone-pop”.


Born in The Netherlands, Nine grew up in the countryside. This inspired her a lot and she uses it ‘till this day to write her songs. When she was only 9 years old she had already written her own English song. Now, more than 10 years later, besides it becoming her profession, not much has changed. With over 45 million streams on songs shewrote, a recent hit in Lebanon, two songs in the German pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest and various releases all over the world, she’s earned the title “songwriter”.

MUSICAL GUEST

Zoe Low: The 20-year-old born and raised Amsterdammer Zoë Low seems to turn heads everywhere she goes with her warm, inviting vocals. This captivation can already be observed through her music pages, where her cover songs have quietly amassed over 19 million streams. Her unique sound has been recognized by the Amsterdam-based boutique label, Bloomer Records, where she will soon release her debut EP, following performances throughout the Popronde, for which she has been selected as an OOR Talent by the influential Dutch music magazine, OOR.

PANELIST/SPEAKER

Jarl Hector: ECD & Co-Founder of Clear Music, music for media expert with experience crafting and licensing impactful campaign music for brands like Bol. com, Samsung, Diesel, Lenovo, and Netflix, offers valuable insights on music's role in advertising in his talk, "Into the Heart Through the Ears."

A multidisciplinary hybrid creative who works at the intersection of advertising, technology, and social content creation.

PANELIST

Lotte Sterk: As a composer graduate (HKU), Sterk has a background in making music, but consciously chose a profession in which she can guide songwriters and artists. Therefore, in her career so far she has worked as A&R and Music Researcher at MassiveMusic, as Playlist Editor for Apple Music Benelux and as A&R Manager Netherlands for Warner Music Records. She now works at Pennies From Heaven as A&R / Creative where she focuses on creating (creative) opportunities for and mentoring the songwriters and artists represented by Pennies From Heaven.

PANELIST

Maarten Groen: Groen is a film addict. His passion for the moving image began at a young age when he started photographing and filming his friends skateboarding and playing in bands. During college, he faced a dilemma between pursuing music or film. However, with a clever workaround, he managed to pursue both passions. Groen completed his master's degree in Musicology with a thesis on "Hearing Visuals," and concurrently obtained a Master's degree in film with a slightly modified thesis titled "Seeing Sound." These combinations of sensory experiences are scientifically referred to as synesthesia, and he’s am a firm believer in its power.

MUSICAL GUEST

Tim Senders: Senders is known for his energetic and euphoric DJ sets, and ability to get any crowd moving. His signature sound blends the classic disco vibe with modern house music, creating a unique and unforgettable experience for his crowd.

Senders grew up surrounded by a diverse range of musical influences. As a teenager, he became fascinated by the underground club scene and began experimenting with DJing and producing. After years of hard work and dedication, Senders quickly played at some of the big festivals like: Mysteryland, Solar Festival, Komm Schon Alter, Happy Feelings.

PANELIST
