Arno Krabman (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑrnoː ˈkrɑpmɑn]; born 19 March 1982) is a Dutch songwriter and producer. He is known for his work with, among others, Suzan & Freek, Snelle and S10, and has had over twenty-five Dutch Single Top 100 hits as a songwriter.[1][2] His repertoire consists mainly of Dutch-language pop songs.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Krabman was born on 19 March 1982 in Leeuwarden, Friesland.[3][4] He studied Music and Technology at the Utrecht School of the Arts in Hilversum.[4] During his studies, he worked as a session musician.[4] Brendan O'Brien and Max Martin have been cited as Krabman's main artistic influences.[4]
Career
[edit]Krabman's first release as a songwriter was the single "Jou" by Maud Mulder in 2005.[2] In 2006, he first entered the Dutch Single Top 100 and Dutch Top 40 with the song "Ik wacht al zo lang" by Lange Frans & Baas B.[2] Krabman has since been prominently involved in the production of the studio albums Drive (2013) by Anneke van Giersbergen, In mijn bloed (2017) by Roxeanne Hazes , Gedeeld door ons (2019) and Dromen in kleur (2021) by Suzan & Freek, and Lars (2021) by Snelle.[2] He also created the soundtrack for the Dutch drama series The Spectacular, which was released in early 2022.[5]
Krabman has scored number-one hits in the Netherlands with the singles "Als het avond is" (2019) by Suzan & Freek, "Blijven slapen" (2021) by Snelle & Maan, and "De diepte" (2022) by S10. The song "Nu wij niet meer praten" (2020) by Jaap Reesema & Pommelien Thijs reached number one in both the Netherlands and Belgium.
In 2018, Krabman was a member of the Dutch jury for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.[6] In 2021, the song "De diepte", which Krabman had co-written with S10, was internally selected by the Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS to represent the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[7] By finishing in second place in the first semi-final on 10 May 2022, it became the first Dutch-language entry to reach the final of the Eurovision Song Contest since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004.[8] In the final on 14 May 2022, the entry finished in 11th place with 171 points.
Personal life
[edit]Krabman is in a relationship with Nienke de Jong, who was the lead singer of the metal band Autumn from 1999 to 2008.[4] They own a recording studio in Wijdemeren, North Holland, located between the villages Kortenhoef and 's-Graveland.[4]
