Thanks to his participation in the talent show The Best Singer / Songwriter Of The Netherlands 2013, television viewers get to know and that is a good thing. He is an idiosyncratic songwriter who, unlike many of his peers, is not obsessed with his own love life.

On half of the songs you hear nothing more than Jeroen's voice and his acoustic guitar. When he is accompanied by a drummer and a double bass player, his music gets a bit angular, a bit -like humparock.
