Fresku (Roy Michael Reymound, born 1986 in Eindhoven) is a Dutch rapper, actor and comedian with Curaçaoan roots. He broke through in 2008 with 'Brief aan Kees', an open letter to record label boss Kees de Koning that landed him a deal with Top Notch. His album 'Hand op mijn hart' (2013) is widely regarded as one of the finest Dutch hip-hop records of that decade, and his sixth solo album 'Leren Leven' (2024) won an Edison Award. Operating independently through his own label Baranka Music, he moves fluidly between music, theatre and social commentary.
