I’m Dieuwertje Heuvelings a twenty something girl living in Amsterdam. I spend my life listening to music. I’m an A&R for MassiveTalent, a company that connects unsigned but talented artists to Brands, Movies, TV shows and Games. Next to looking for unsigned talent I also have my own blog where I post songs that are connected to each other through a single word or thought.

A couple of months ago I found the band Alt-j ∆ on Soundcloud. I wanted them to join MassiveTalent so like I always do before a new artist signs with us I kept it for myself for a while. I soon found out that they were gonna sign with big player instead, normally it gets[...]

I came across this band the other day that I swear was plucked straight out of my wildest dreams. They sound how Tom Waits would sound if he made indie, luckily Tom Waits is one of my favourite musicians. So I absolutely love Future Islands, their new album is called “On The Water”. It’s their[...]
