Shalisa van der Laan on SoundBetter

I’m Shalisa, a singer-songwriter. At 15, I represented the Netherlands at Junior Eurovision. I later signed with Hollywood Records but chose to focus on songwriting and graduated from Codarts University, Conservatory in Rotterdam.

With years of experience in songwriting, recording vocals, and voice-over work, I bring creativity and professionalism to every project. I specialize in pop music—both English and Dutch—but I’ve also been branching out into EDM, always looking for new ways to bring strong melodies and authentic lyrics.

My journey started when I was 15, representing the Netherlands at Junior Eurovision with Million Lights—the moment I knew songwriting was my path. I later signed with Hollywood Records but realized I wanted to dive deeper into writing. That led me to graduate from Codarts University, Conservatory in Rotterdam, and work with artists across different genres.

I love shaping songs to fit an artist’s unique sound, whether writing for others, recording vocals, or lending my voice to a project. Every song tells a story, and I’m all about making sure you hear what the artist has to say.
