Rochelle Perts (1992) is a Dutch singer unlike any other our country has seen before. At the age of 19, she won the 2011 X-Factor competition, and her subsequent single, a cover of Jordin Sparks’ “No Air”, peaked at number 1 in the Dutch Top 100 charts.
“Shotgun”, Rochelle’s biggest exploit so far, is also one of the Netherlands’ biggest hits and it is still breaking records around the world. Produced by Yellow Claw and released by Spinnin’ Records, the single features beats as hard as steel, combined with Rochelle’s warm yet edgy sound.
After entering the Dutch charts, it wasn’t long before neighboring countries picked up this massive hit; “Shotgun” received airplay in Belgium, Greece, Armenia, Turkey and Azerbaijan and ended up on several iTunes’ Top 10 Charts around the globe. The video has more than 65 million views on Youtube, almost 20 million plays on Spotify and is also played on Sirius XM, one of America’s biggest radio stations with over 25 million listeners.
In early 2015 Rochelle collaborates with Lady Bee and together they release “Return Of The Mack”, a cover of Mark Morrisons hit from 1996. The video reached over 150.000 Youtube views in one day.
Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens did a remix, which was picked up by Sirius XM in the US. Next to the Oliver Heldens remix, there was a complete remix package with Dirtcaps, Poupon and SNBRN.
In May 2015, Rochelle joined forces with the unique, energetic trio Dirtcaps known from, among others, their big breakthrough “”Money on my Mind”. Together they’ve created the upcoming summer hit “Fools Paradise”. “Fools Paradise” was signed on the Amsterdam based Record Label Young Elephants, which focusses on music coming from different electronic (dance) based influences to be crossed with all kinds of music styles. Rochelle is one of the first promising and successful music artists in the international music industry, who is represented by Young Elephants.
Besides making music, Rochelle is also involved in the Dutch fashion scene, where she works with many young and fresh designers. As an up-and-coming fashion icon and model, she has been featured in L’Officiel and Elle magazine and Krijn van Noordwijk’s photo book TAT TOO. While Rochelle’s sound may be warm and fresh, she prefers to keep it dark and edgy when it comes to couture, further highlighting her mysterious personality.
Her new single “All Night Long” is released on February 12th on Young Elephants.
Rochelle Perts is a unique and artistic woman, with heaps of musical talent, a larger than life personality and a remarkable sense of style. Get ready to be stunned.
