Her first album, Hope, did very well and multiple songs were put in Spotify playlists like “Morning Tea” and “Jazz X-press”. With her EP, Beyond The Wall, FENNE toured with her band and backing vocalists at Popronde (9 shows), and played the songs during FENNE’s episode of NTR’s “New Generation”.

SLOJAY is an Utrecht-based artist whose music fuses indie soul, hip-hop, impressionism, and cool jazz.

Layered over gritty, swinging hip-hop grooves, SLOJAY’s sound carries a message of empowerment, reminding listeners that the power of creation lies in everyone’s hands.
