Jeangu Macrooy

On Saturday 22 May 2027, Jeangu Macrooy will celebrate the release of his very first Dutch-language album, ‘Zolang ik blijf dansen’, during a spectacular release show at our MAX! Jeangu Macrooy, born in 1993 in Paramaribo, is known for his soulful voice, personal stories and charismatic stage presence. His music moves effortlessly between pop, soul, folk and indie, whilst addressing both personal and social themes. Whilst taking part in ‘Beste Zangers’, Jeangu discovered Dutch as a new way to express himself musically. This experience inspired his new album ‘Zolang ik blijf dansen’, due for release in the spring of 2027. In addition to his successful music career, Jeangu has made a name for himself in recent years as a musical theater actor, including roles as Jesus in “Jesus Christ Superstar” and Orpheus in “Hadestown.” With “Zolang Ik Blijf Dansen,” Jeangu is taking a new musical direction: THE CLUB. In a unique collaboration with DJ and club legend Joost van Bellen, he takes the audience on a journey through a night they won’t soon forget.
