As a professional musician, I have been performing for the past three years with a Dutch electronic hip-hop formation alongside two other artists. Operating independently with our own manager, we have experienced steady growth and earned positive reviews from Parool and 3voor12. Our music has taken us to prominent festivals and venues such as De Melkweg, Tivoli, Into The Great Wide Open, Paaspop, and De Zwarte Cross.Through my work, I have traveled extensively across the Netherlands, built a substantial network in the cultural and music industries, and engaged in valuable collaborations. Consistently performing on stage has significantly enhanced my performance skills. The experience has sharpened my ability to connect with diverse audiences, maintain composure under pressure, and be aware of my (body)language use. This constant engagement has also improved my stage presence, vocal control, and ability to read and adapt to audience reactions, ultimately boosting my confidence and effectiveness as a performer.https://www.rjo.gratis/

As a carpenter, I gained practical skills in woodworking, project planning, and problem-solving.

At Stadsherstel, I served as the on-site manager for various event locations, overseeing concerts, lectures, networking events, and parties.

I was a Residential Counselor working with a small group of children who had mental impairments, such as autism, compulsive and behavioral disorders. My job was to help improve and maintain their emotional well-being and psychopathological symptoms, so they would not go to more restricted facilities and could have a good quality of life. From my studies in psychology, I applied communication skills and theoretical knowledge in my work to support these children and help them grow in a caring environment.
