Lieke Heusinkveld

Netherlands
/MUSIC/

Lieke Heusinkveld is a 27-year-old songwriter, producer and instrumentalist who performs by the alias of 'la loye'. Her music could be described as alternative folk, but it's unique in its own existence. Lieke does not explore the beaten track of human consciousness but wanders along the exciting elephant paths, dark sprawl and beautiful open plains.

PRESENTING

During the course of her 3Package Deal year, she has focused on writing and recording her debut album, called 'sweet dreams, see you tomorrow’. It is an astonishing body of work in which she has drawn inspiration from her youth, day to day life, connecting with her queer identity and finding peace in a fast-moving city like Amsterdam. Lieke will perform songs from her new album at the festival. She will also show a series of photographs to accompany the music. As a visionary thinker, the album's imagery has been an important part of Lieke's work and will give you a whole experience of the world she has created.


Stimulating and facilitating top talent with affordable living and working space, a budget, and a network – that is the goal of the 3Package Deal. This successful program of the Amsterdam Fund of the Arts (AFK) and Bureau Broedplaatsen in collaboration with renowned Amsterdam institutions is now regarded as the best practice in the field of talent development.



The Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (AFK) invests in the arts which enrich the experience of life in the city of Amsterdam. The AFK encourages the quality, dynamism and diversity of the arts in Amsterdam, and contributes to the city's strong and richly varied cultural climate. The fund is available to all disciplines within the cultural sector, for cultural organizations and artists. The AFK supports both experimentation and proven quality, established organizations and those that are relatively new, the professional arts and amateur arts - from every district of the city. As a metropolitan cultural fund, the AFK offers support to high-quality cultural activities, it functions as a booster for the arts within the city and is an investor in a sustainable future for the cultural sector.



Bureau Broedplaatsen is part of the municipality of Amsterdam. Its task is to realize more affordable studios and (residential) workspaces for artists and incubator groups. Bureau Broedplaatsen does this in collaboration with target group organisations, city districts, central services, corporations, real estate agents, developers, and banks.

We thank our partners, the renowned Amsterdam cultural institutions listed below who take part in the 15 coalitions that select the participating artists and provide them with guidance and a supportive network. They are of vital importance to the program.
