Gotu Jim
Gotu Jim is one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the Dutch music scene in recent years. Born and raised in Amsterdam, he blends rap, pop and electronic sounds into a style that is both playful and deeply personal. With sharp humour and honest storytelling, he captures the absurdities of everyday life while exploring themes of identity and connection.
Since his breakout track “Tweede Klas Shit”, Gotu Jim has carved out a lane entirely his own. His releases, including the acclaimed album Generatie K, showcase a fearless artist who refuses to fit into one box. Signed to Burning Fik, the label known for championing boundary-pushing Dutch talent, he has become a voice for a generation that values authenticity as much as attitude.
On stage, Gotu Jim brings his words to life with raw energy and charisma. His performances are unpredictable and intimate, often shifting between humour and reflection within a single breath. Whether performing in clubs, at festivals or in his studio at Amsterdam’s NDSM, he radiates a creative freedom that feels both grounded and experimental.
More than just a rapper, Gotu Jim is a storyteller, a connector and a mirror of his time. Honest, unconventional and always evolving, he continues to blur the lines between irony and emotion, making music that speaks directly to the world around him.
