  A few words for Jeangu Macrooy

  Jeangu Macrooy is born in 1993 in Paramaribo, Suriname. His musical journey begins when he receives a guitar from his parents at the age of thirteen and forms a musical duo with his twin brother Xillan. But Jeangu wants more, so in 2014 he boarded the plane to the Netherlands. There he meets producer / composer Perquisite, with whom he enters into a musical collaboration and who signs him with his label Unexpected Records. From that moment Jeangu steps through the Dutch music world with seven-mile boots. He becomes Serious Talent at 3FM, nominated several times for an Edison, a welcome guest at De Wereld Draait Door and participates in The Passion.

  With two successful albums to his name and several sold-out club tours, Jeangu is increasingly revealing his potential and taking the next international step on the road ahead with his Eurovision participation.

  In 2020 Jeangu was internally selected to represent the country in Rotterdam with his song "Grow". Unfortunately the contest was cancelled for the first time in its history and Jeangu never had the chance to perform on home soil. Nevertheless, AVROTROS, continued with Jeangu in the 2021 edition where he performed the song "Birth of a new age" finishing 23rd in the final.
