Patience is a brave thing to have, and something that singer/songwriter Hoger is very rich of. Growing up in the Netherlands as part of a strict middle eastern family, boyhood was not the easiest for Hoger. With his parents having only
fled recently from their homes in Kurdistan, Hoger lived the life of a first child in a new world with a big dream that felt far away on another planet.

Being the guinea pig of his siblings like a true big brother often is, Hoger took a lot of shots for his brother and sister for them to be able to chase their dreams and be who they are without any limits. After he had taught himself how to
write & record music, he helped his sister with the same ambition, singer NAAZ, to do the same thing.

A big misconception in the middle eastern culture might be that Hoger must’ve had it easier than his little sister considering he’s a male, but this was most definitely not true and therefore even more beautiful that his moment of shine only comes now.

After years of working behind the curtains to help open doors with his siblings, the time has now come for Hoger to be born as an artist himself. His dark pop melancholic sounds truly give you a peak inside the mind of a man who once begun with writing poetry as a child, and now is giving life to his words with infectious melodies and naked thoughts.

This is the story of a man with many layers, ready to expose himself with music and music only.
