Sjaak’s Massive Dutch Hit – Trompetisto

Sjaak’s massive Dutch hit “Trompetisto” achieved gold status in The Netherlands within a few months, and quickly moved up the local Spotify Charts, peaking at #7. The hilarious music video for “Trompetisto”, featuring Sjaak in the mountains of Austria, scored over 1.5 million views on YouTube in the short time. Now, it’s time for Sjaak to go global!

Sjaak (real name: Mehdi Chafi) spent his youth on the streets of Amsterdam. He started making music in a local youth centre and in 2007, this led him to record one of the most notorious Dutch gangster rap classics of all time; “Schijt” with rapper Appa. “Schijt” and the accompanying video caused an enormous stir in Dutch media, when politicians started to complain about the hardcore lyrics and the portrayal of street life in the video.

But Sjaak quickly developed into much more than a gangster rapper. He released albums on Dutch labels like SPEC and Top Notch, was a founding member of live sensation “Strijder Systeem” and had a string of party hits over the years collaborating with artists like PartySquad, JeBroer, La$$a, Sidney Samson, Tony Junior and Bizzey.

In 2018, Sjaak scored the massive hit “Stap voor Stap” with Kav Verhouzer. This house music infused party anthem scored over 21 million Spotify streams and over 6 Million views on YouTube alone.

All these releases led to Sjaak touring the Benelux virtually non-stop. His crazy live shows, for which he teams up with a DJ and a supporting MC, turn any crowd into a sweaty heap of party freaks!

But Sjaak is much more than a musician. Over the last few years, Sjaak also became a household name in Dutch media. He acted in major movies, most recently in “De Belofte van Pisa”, and his unique comedy skills made him a true TV, radio and on-line phenomenon. His hilarious videos often go viral on Instagram and Tik Tok and he is a much sought after guest on many on-line and TV/radio shows.

Sjaak manages to combine street credibility with a huge dose of humor as he effortlessly flows between different styles of music, from hard-hitting hip hop to commercial party anthems and between media like Instagram, Tik Tok, TV and Radio alike.

Trompetisto is taken from the forthcoming album “Sjaak In The House”.

    When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!
