Long Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n

True Stories + Living Music<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/p>\n

Cornelis is a Dutch-Irish Indie-Rock artist currently based in Vilnius, Lithuania that writes songs about daily life in gritty and glorious detail. Whether aggressive, introspective, silly or serious, Cornelis tells the true stories we all recognise from our lives.<\/p>\n

Despite failing music in school Cornelis learned to play the guitar with the ambition to write his own songs. After moving to London he immersed himself in the local music scene and found the experience of living in the city provided ample inspiration for writing lyrics.<\/p>\n

Cornelis combines lyrical storytelling in the tradition of artists like The Streets and Jarvis Cocker with diverse musical influences ranging from Rock, Jazz and Hip-Hop to New Wave and Post-Punk. Releasing both a Trap and Jazz version of ‘Broken’ exemplifies his motto “True Stories & Living Music”.<\/p>\n

His debut EP: ‘What Else?’ showcased his skill as a Punk and Indie-Rock songwriter while the ‘One Track Mind’ EP, created during the pandemic lockdowns can be described as ‘Grunge-Beats’ and ‘Synth-Punk’. Cornelis released the last track of the ‘Not Everyone Sees’ EP in 2025, which saw him return to his rock roots, this time with New Wave, Disco-Punk and Alt-Rock influences. In 2026 he released \u2018Best Day Ever\u2019 and ‘It’s Not Romantic’ with a third song set to come out before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
