Rob Kemps is a Dutch singer, TV host and entertainer, best known as the frontman of the Brabant party act Snollebollekes, which he has fronted since 2013 alongside DJs Jurjen Gofers and Maurice Huismans. Carnival anthems such as 'Links Rechts' and 'Vrouwkes' filled Arnhem's GelreDome stadium for years, while Kemps also developed a deep passion for French chanson. In his theatre shows 'Hemel op aarde' and 'Laat me niet alleen' he steps away from the party act to explore the life and music of his idol Jacques Brel, blending humour with personal storytelling.
