About us

.

Jellyfish is a concept by Basja Chanowski (owner of Più Music – www.piumusic.com) that originated on the island of Schiermonnikoog in 2013.

Artists from all genres and generations — from emerging talent to internationally renowned performers — come together on one stage to create a single concert experience.

This diversity on stage attracts a broad and varied audience to our performances.

In addition to the concerts, emerging talent is scouted, trained, and coached by Basja. As part of this process, Jellyfish offers young artists the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, learn directly from professionals on stage, and inspire one another.

This approach has helped many talents grow their careers, including three winners of The Voice of Holland: Julia Zahra, Maan, and Jim van der Zee.

Jellyfish exists in various formats. Each year, multiple concerts are produced on Schiermonnikoog, ranging from intimate shows featuring new talent to large-scale events at the Berkenplas — the island’s largest lake — with well-known Dutch artists.

Jellyfish is also booked as a flexible concept by a wide range of clients. Based on the desired themes or genres, a fully tailor-made performance is created. Jellyfish is booked nationally and internationally for events such as:

– Talpa
– Boston Consulting Group
– Eldon
– Triodos Bank
– Espria
and many others.

Development

Over the years, Jellyfish has shown a steady and positive development. An increasing number of guest artists are eager to participate in our concerts.

During the COVID-19 period, Jellyfish began experimenting with livestreaming for the first time, in the winter of 2020. With professional technical support and the collaboration of many dedicated partners, this resulted in a two-hour live broadcast featuring well-known artists and a high level of interaction with our audience at home, who were able to send WhatsApp messages during the concert.

The broadcast can be viewed and listened to here.

What stood out in particular was the large number of lonely viewers who shared deeply personal and heartwarming messages. Based on these experiences, Jellyfish aims to place a stronger focus on online events, audience interaction, and the development of a social and educational platform. The goal is to create deeper connections, inspire one another, and add meaningful value to the lives of an ever-growing audience.

The future development of Jellyfish does not lie in creating large-scale events, but in preserving the unique, personal nature of our concerts: achieving wide reach by remaining small, intimate, and focused.
