Music career

Born in Duffel, Metejoor wanted to be a gymnastics instructor before pursuing music.[1] After his sister sent an audition tape to The Voice van Vlaanderen in 2016, he met the producer Hans Francken and began releasing music. He suffered from extreme stage fright in his early career. In 2018, he opened for the Belgian group Clouseau on their tour of the Netherlands, and for Niels Destadsbader at Antwerp's Sportpaleis.[2]

Metejoor topped the Ultratop 50 Singles chart for Flanders in two non-consecutive weeks of April 2021 with the single "1 op een miljoen", a duet with Dutch singer Babet.[3] The song also peaked at number 29 in the Dutch Top 40.[4] The song "Dit is wat mijn mama zei" also topped the Flemish charts for three separate weeks in March and April 2022.[5] His eponymous debut album went straight to number one in Flanders on 6 November 2021, and topped the chart for three weeks early in the following year.[6]
