Marike Jager has been an established name in the Dutch music scene for over fifteen years, where she has produced a broad an exciting oeuvre. Her records have already earned her four Edison nominations, several sold-out tours and many festival appearances. Her music shows a strong urge for adventure (“Great unusual music, many people try to sound like this”, Tchad Blake). Marike developed from ‘girl with guitar’ to ‘avant-pop’ artist, guitarist and producer. Always recognizable, but never on repeat.
Marike also presented for VPRO television (Lowlands, Zwarte Cross), worked with theater makers and orchestras, recorded a duet with renowned songwriter Ron Sexsmith (CA), toured the country with hip-hop dancer Shailesh Bahoran and surprised everyone with her recent collaboration with drummer Martijn Bosman as duo ‘M ft. M’ (“Music without a safety net”).
Behind the scenes, Marike is mother of three children, voice-over and professional tinkerer of her own video clips.
