From Piano Prodigy to Conscious Musician
HAN's love for music began early with the piano, setting the stage for a life steeped in sound. His musical path has been anything but conventional. After high school, he channeled his creative energy into the hip hop formation Consequent before deepening his skills at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
His journey took an international turn as a multi-instrumentalist with the duo Spix Macaw, allowing him to explore different cultures and sonic landscapes. But it was in 2017 that a deeper calling emerged—to craft a solo project that was both personal and purposeful. Thus, HAN (Here And Now) was born.

In a world that often feels disconnected, HAN (Here And Now) brings people back to the present moment—through the universal language of music. Based in Amsterdam, HAN is a visionary singer-songwriter whose unique fusion of reggae, folk, world, and tribal music delivers more than just a sonic experience—it offers a heartfelt call to unity, joy, and awareness.



Living the Message
Whether performing on stage or facilitating music-based community projects, HAN embodies the spirit of his music. His work is a testament to the idea that music is more than entertainment—it’s a catalyst for change.
As HAN continues to evolve, his message remains the same: be here, be now, and let the music move you toward something greater.
Music with a Mission
HAN isn’t just creating music for entertainment—he’s crafting an experience meant to uplift and connect. Influenced by Xavier Rudd, Paul Simon, and Mike Love, his songs are steeped in themes of personal growth, unity, and the healing power of rhythm.
With Raw Resonance, HAN leads large-scale interactive music events, using percussion and voice to bring diverse groups into harmony. As a trainer for Sounds of Change, he works directly with refugees and community leaders in conflict areas, using music as a tool for empowerment and resilience.
Just a few months later, HAN followed up with Dancing Flame on October 1, 2020. Featuring the evocative single Song Of Silence, the EP continued to explore themes of inner peace, connection, and awakening.
EP Releases: ‘Here And Now’ & ‘Dancing Flame’
His debut EP, Here And Now, released on May 22, 2020, marked a powerful entry into the music world—an expression of HAN’s evolution and his message of mindful presence. Collaborating with producer Gino Bombrini (formerly of Skip & Die), HAN refined a globally influenced sound that bridges continents and cultures.
