Singer-songwritersnight

In this show, three talented singer-songwriters from the singer-songwriter collective take to the stage. The artists in the collective have already gained a fair amount of recognition through TV appearances and club gigs. In this edition of the Singer-songwritersnight, the line-up is as follows: Cornelius Leonardus, Ellece and Gercoh.

Cornelius Leonardus Cornelius Leonardus is a singer-songwriter who, back in 2013, was the youngest-ever 3FM Serious Talent. He is known for taking part in ‘De Beste Singer-Songwriter van Nederland’ and made a big impression as a finalist in the SBS6 programme ‘The Talent Scouts’. His version of Beyoncé's ‘Halo’ was one of Radio538's most-watched clips. Last year he was one of the contestants on the SBS TV programme ‘Talent Unplugged’, where he impressed with his raw, powerful voice and excellent guitar playing. His coach Douwe Bob praises him for his wide range and superb vocal control.

In 2024 Cornelius Leonardus released his debut album 'In What World', reflecting on the world of today and the world of tomorrow. With this album he aims to move his listeners and get them thinking. His performances are intimate, inspiring and much more than just a night ‘out’. It's a musical evening with substance and character that leaves a lasting impression.

Ellece Ellece is known from her appearance on the SBS6 programme ‘Talent Unplugged’. She started writing songs at the age of 12. Her talent did not go unnoticed: at 14 she won first prize at Kunstbende in the Music category for North Brabant. That victory took her to the national final at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam and marked the start of her musical journey.

Driven to develop further, Ellece threw herself into songwriting and in 2020 was accepted at the renowned Rockacademie in Tilburg. During her studies she met her five-piece band, with whom she now forms an energetic line-up. Together, driven by emotion, they strike the perfect balance between pop, rock & americana influences. In March 2024 Ellece represented the Rockacademie on the PopCollegeTour, playing well-known venues such as Poppodium 013, Metropool, Patronaat and the Q-Factory in a single week. Audiences have already had a foretaste of what's to come with the release of two singles centred on themes such as personal growth, resilience and self-acceptance. With every new track, Ellece draws her listeners into her world, making music straight from the heart. Honest, accessible pop with a subtle layer of reflection. Inspired by artists such as James Bay, Maren Morris and Noah Kahan, this 22-year-old artist turns her life experiences into songs that offer strength and self-insight.

Geroch. Dutch singer-songwriter Gercoh. was born on Friday the 13th in a music shop somewhere in Drenthe. With his raw, lived-in voice, he occupies a place all of his own in the Dutch music landscape. In the nineties he was inspired by performances by Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, among others, on the American MTV programme ‘Unplugged’. From this, Gercoh. developed his own unmistakable style, which can be heard on his album ‘Lone Wolf’, released in 2025.
