Jeangu Macrooy's musical journey (Paramaribo, 1993) begins when he receives a guitar from his parents at the age of thirteen and forms a musical duo with his twin brother Xillan. However, Jeangu's musical ambitions are significant, so he moves from Suriname to the Netherlands in 2014. There, he meets producer/composer Perquisite, who signs him to his label Unexpected Records and supports him as a music producer and manager. From the release of his debut EP Brave Enough (2016), Jeangu strides through the Dutch music scene with seven-league boots: he becomes a 3FM Talent, participates in the Popronde, performs as opening acts for artists like Blaudzun and Selah Sue, appears frequently on De Wereld Draait Door, performs at Noorderslag, and is nominated for the Edison Pop Award for Best Newcomer.
