Bente, a remarkable and talented figure in the Dutch music scene, continues to reach new heights in her impressive career. In January 2024, she played her first sold-out show at Paradiso, marking a milestone in her journey as an artist. This fall, another enchanting tour is planned, which fans eagerly anticipate.

Her recent release, “Maar niet met jou erbij” (“But Not With You There”), continues to captivate audiences and showcases her ongoing artistic growth and musical finesse. With every step, Bente demonstrates her versatility and unique talents, gaining more and more admirers.

Bente’s musical journey began at the young age of eleven when she discovered her passion for singing, writing, and performing. As a teenager, she was already in the spotlight on shows like The Voice Kids and De Wereld Draait Door, and her life even became the subject of a captivating documentary titled “Bente’s Voice.”

In 2019, Bente decided to shift her musical direction and signed a contract with the prestigious record label TopNotch. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in her career, where she began writing and singing in Dutch. She achieved her breakthrough with the single “Liefste, Ken Je Mij” (“Dearest, Do You Know Me”), and since then, she has made impressive strides with two EPs and several successful singles, collaborating with well-known artists such as Maan and Ronnie Flex.

A highlight of her artistic journey was the long-awaited release of her debut album, titled “Als Ik Met De Wind Kon Dansen” (“If I Could Dance With the Wind”). With a deep fascination for numerology and a special connection to the number 11, Bente chose to launch her album on the unique date 11-11-22. This album, featuring talented artists like Typhoon, Tim Knol, and Meau, brought Bente’s mature sound to the forefront.
