Hit the North presents: Jelle Mulder

Jelle Mulder creates Dutch-language songs that balance softness and rawness. His music touches on themes like love, fear, dreams, and sorrow—honest and straightforward. Live, a seven-piece band lifts his sound to a new level with more groove, depth, and volume. Think dreamy danceability and heartfelt lyrics, influenced by D’Angelo, Doe Maar, John Mayer, and Lizzy McAlpine. In everything, Jelle seeks connection and perspective—both on himself and the world around him.

Hit the North is the leading talent development program for artists in the North of the Netherlands. Participants in Hit the North take part in intensive bootcamps, workshops, and coaching sessions focused on artistic growth and business skills. The goal is for young talents to progress to regional and national stages after completing the program. One of the performances takes place at ESNS and one of the Liberation Festivals in Northern Netherlands.
