Niels Destadsbader is keeping busy—hosting Ik vraag het aan, starring in the musical 14-18, and now releasing new music. His latest single, Bijna Vergeten, is an emotional duet about two people growing apart.
The song came to life after Dutch singer-songwriter Tessa June emailed Niels a demo. To her surprise, he called her personally, and they finished the song together. Tessa, who shares her musical journey on TikTok, never expected a response but took a chance—and it paid off.
Niels explains: “I started my career the same way, sending demos and hoping for a reply. Tessa’s talent stood out, and I was immediately drawn to the song. I’m thrilled to help launch her career.”
Tessa adds: “It still feels surreal. I never imagined I’d get to work with one of Flanders’ biggest artists.”
With Bijna Vergeten, Niels and Tessa deliver a heartfelt duet that blends their voices beautifully, marking the start of an exciting collaboration.
