The Netherlands
Jan Modaal writes punk schlager songs. This straight-forward singer-songwriter has an excellent live reputation. Jan’s lyrics show a great love for the Dutch language. The songs find balance between a cheerful plea and an outrageous declaration of love. “Wil je dood ofzo?” (“Wanna die or what?”), Jan’s debut EP, was released in 2020. In four cutting pieces, Jan sets out his vision on the world. Loud, catchy and to the point. Jan Modaal is the man of the people, the shrill voice of a generation.
