Mini bio
How it started.
Trijntje grew up in a musical family and formed Total Touch with her brother Tjeerd in the early 1990s. Touring with Candy Dulfer in 1994 widened her world. In 1996, Touch Me There reached radio listeners and her performance of De Zee at the Amsterdam ArenA opening brought her to a much larger audience.
A voice across genres.
Her solo work ranges from Dutch songs to soul and jazz. The Burt Bacharach songbooks with Metropole Orkest became a lasting collaboration. Everchanging Times includes Making Love with Gregory Porter. In 2015 she represented the Netherlands at Eurovision with Walk Along.
Sharing what singing can do.
In 2025 she honoured Stevie Wonder with Love’s In Need of Love Today, recorded with the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw. Her 2026 book De kracht van zingen draws on her experiences of stage fright and fame, a theme she also explores through singing workshops.
