Jannes was born on the trailer park in Emmen and released his first single in 1999. Since then he has taken the pirate music genre to unprecedented heights and is nationally regarded as the King of Pirates. Party spoke to Jannes about that royal title, but also about his changed life and his upcoming anniversary. The singer from Drenthe will see Abraham this summer. Jannes in the new Party: “I don’t feel old and don’t think: shit I’m already turning fifty.”
