MAIN. - 'K.W.I.J.T.' (Live from Hidden Gem)

MAIN (Jermaine Berkhoudt) is an artist whose creative journey spans roles as host, MC, sound designer, and actor. At 19, he joined the indie hip-hop label VanIeder1 (2010–2015), where he released the album Jaar vd/ Blokhoofd. As the frontman of the funk band Funky Organizers (2014–2017), he gained extensive live experience, including Popronde 2015, tours in France, and major summer festivals. With the act MCJR & Th'Acquisition, he won both the audience and jury prizes at the 2017 Sena Grote Prijs van Rotterdam, after previously placing 4th in 2011. Following a period of growth and reflection, Jermaine returns as a solo artist under the name MAIN, introducing a fresh sound with his LEEF:TIJD EP - project that reflects on time, maturity, fatherhood, and personal evolution.
