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.

Alongside his successful music career, Jeangu has made a name for himself in recent years as a musical theatre actor, notably as Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ and Orpheus in ‘Hadestown’. With ‘Zolang ik blijf dansen’, Jeangu is embarking on a new musical direction, which he intends to celebrate with the audience through a spectacular live show.
