Jorien Stravens
Jorien has been with Popsport for over 13 years, 7 of which as director. In that time, Popsport has grown from provincial band competition to the leading development program for young pop musicians throughout the Netherlands. With great pleasure and dedication, she works with partners and professionals across the country to build a rich pop infrastructure in which young creatives can develop themselves as musicians and as people. She derives the most pleasure from the little big stories of participating musicians, who blossom as artists and make creative connections for life.
As Music Advisor at Groeispurt , she enjoys contributing to creating new development opportunities for musicians and giving more freedom for creative experimentation.
