Available to hire
I’m Jeffrey de Nijs, a musician, singer and guitarist with decades of stage and studio experience. I’ve toured across Europe with a cappella groups and Motown-inspired productions, and I also work as a vocal coach and guitar teacher for various schools and private students. My work blends performing, teaching and studio production, and I enjoy collaborations across genres from pop and musical theatre to Disney productions and live-band settings.
Currently based in Amsterdam, I balance performing with teaching and studio work, including an ongoing Apple Retail role. I also enjoy writing songs and jingles, and producing photos and music videos with mobile tools. I’m open to new projects, collaborations and opportunities to share my experience with students and fellow musicians.
