Piano
Challem (NL)
Challem, born in Zoeterwoude, is on a journey to discover life. His emotions, voice, movements, and reactions are translated by his piano playing. For Challem, the piano is an instinctive instrument to which his thoughts guide him and express himself through his playing. In 2022, Challem went on a bike tour of Scandinavia to limit his ecological footprint. His debut EPs Aparigraha and Santosha (Télès Music) have been critically acclaimed and generated cross-platform more than 10 million streams. Challem's highly anticipated debut album 'The Road' tells the story of the pianists search for a home, which led him to the Northern part of Spain, where he's working on his own home. Challem's two album release shows in Concertgebouw Amsterdam were sold-out, underscoring the composers status as one of the most exciting piano prospects, coming out of the Netherlands.
