On Saturday, September 28th, Cristel Ball will once again curate an evening filled with surprising acts and we are delighted to welcome Morpheus to the Jopen Stage.
Pop-noir artist Morpheus made a stunning debut in 2023 with his EP 'Morphosis'. His music, crafted for the lonely soul, blends orchestral elements with contemporary productions and digital beats, creating a unique and captivating sound. Morpheus sees his songwriting as a form of alchemy, transforming his inner darkness into something powerful and radiant.
In 2024, Morpheus released his second EP, 'The Ascent', collaborating with fellow artist and producer Thomas Azier. His growing reputation is marked by a cover feature on L'Officiel Turkey, and interviews in Trouw, 3voor12, and Behind the Blinds. With live and TV performances throughout Europe, supporting tours for artists like Thomas Azier, Ásgeir, and Kovacs, and performing at ESNS in 2024, his name is buzzing.

Pop-noir artiest Morpheus maakte een indrukwekkend debuut in 2023 met zijn EP 'Morphosis'. Zijn muziek, gemaakt voor de eenzame ziel, combineert orkestrale elementen met hedendaagse producties en digitale beats, wat zorgt voor een uniek en meeslepend geluid. Morpheus ziet zijn songwriting als een vorm van alchemie, waarbij hij zijn innerlijke duisternis transformeert in iets krachtigs en stralends.
In 2024 bracht Morpheus zijn tweede EP, 'The Ascent', uit, in samenwerking met collega-artiest en producer Thomas Azier. Zijn groeiende reputatie wordt gekenmerkt door een cover-feature in L'Officiel Turkey en interviews in Trouw, 3voor12, en Behind the Blinds. Met live- en tv-optredens door heel Europa, supporttours voor artiesten zoals Thomas Azier, Ásgeir en Kovacs, en een optreden op ESNS in 2024, gonst zijn naam door de muziekwereld.
