Early life and education

Den Hollander and her twin brother were born on 8 November 2000 in Hoorn, North Holland.^[7][8] Since her birth, she has had little to no contact with her biological father.^[9] She grew up in nearby Abbekerk and later in Hoorn, where she attended secondary school.^[9][10] After completing the mavo curriculum in 2018, she has been studying at the Herman Brood Academie in Utrecht.^[10][11]

Throughout her teenage years, Den Hollander suffered from mental health issues, including experiencing auditory hallucinations and depression.^[11] When she was 14 years old, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt.^[11]

Career

In 2016, Den Hollander self-released her first mini-album Antipsychotica, which she recorded using her Apple headphones and uploaded to the online audio distribution platform SoundCloud.^[3][4] Shortly after the release, she was discovered by rapper Jiggy Djé, and signed with his record label Noah's Ark [nl] in 2017.^[4][12] One year later, she released a second mini-album, titled Lithium.^[13] In her songs, her struggle with mental illness is an important theme, with both mini-albums being named after types of psychiatric medication.^[13][14]

In 2019, her debut album Snowsniper was released.^[1] The title is a reference to the Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä, which Den Hollander explained in the media as being "about the cold-heartedness, the solitude" and that "in essence, a soldier strives for peace, just as I strive for peace with myself".^[15] The album was awarded an Edison Award in February 2020.^[10] In November of the same year, she released her second studio album Vlinders, which peaked at number 5 in the Dutch Album Top 100.^[16][17]
