Dutch artist Lilian Hak is a vocalist, songwriter, composer and producer. Her music travels through cinematic pop, jazz, avant-garde electronica with a wide palette of instrumentation for the arrangements. It is rich, playful and powerful. All of the many different facets Lilian embodies come to life through her music for theatre, cinema and album recordings.

When I write music, it has a very visual place in my mind. It has a place full of characters, colours and landscape
