The Nieuwe Lichting winner presents a mix of no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll and catchy pop-punk

Alice Mae, the stage name of Alexia D'hertoge-Martinez, immersed herself in the world of classic alternative rock by stealing her parent’s CDs. Inspired by legendary bands like Oasis, The Rolling Stones and U2, she once vowed to one day make authentic, no-nonsense rock music with a distinctively female voice in a predominantly male scene. At the age of 25, she is now making true on that vow.

Alice Mae effortlessly strikes a chord with her heartfelt vocals and compelling lyrics. Her style is relaxed, her voice raw and seasoned. She writes to organise her messy mind and give form to her thoughts, in the hope that they one day reach some meaningful point.

Through her passion for music, powerful personality and unique vocal sound, Alice Mai is an artist who touches your heart but also gets you thinking. Welcome to her club of Messed Up Grown Ups.
