Maan is one of the biggest stars in the Dutch pop firmament. Since 2016, she has appeared on the billboards of major festivals such as Pinkpop, Paaspop and Zwarte Cross. She played sold-out club tours and, as icing on the cake, she performed her own show in a sold-out Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
Her latest album, 2022's 'Leven' (Dutch for 'life') features a lot of very personal songs that demonstrate musical and personal growth over her early work. It also features collaborations with such big names as De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, Fresku and Goldband. Singles 'Blijven Slapen' and 'Stiekem' each count more than 70 million(!) streams on Spotify, the latter even becoming the most streamed song in the Netherlands in 2023.
After a few very busy years, Maan took a break last year. She went traveling and took time to listen to her musical heart and where it would lead her. 'Paranoia' marks the first release after this hiatus. Moon wants to convey that it is important not to always go along with what is expected of you, but to break free from old patterns, allow yourself to change and create what makes your heart beat faster.
